What's in my mind?

What happens when you think? And when you scratch your nose? Why do you prefer that snack there? Why does your heart beat faster when you meet Genevieve or Tiberius? Is there a bump for math? A myriad of questions that we can explore together by playing together and doing a series of quizzes and experiments to discover the brain and its mechanisms.
