Teaming up with neuroscience expert Andy Myers, Initial conducted an experiment on subconscious reactions to washroom smells. Participants explored different cubicle scenarios, from clean to unhygienic, while eye tracking and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) measured their visual attention, emotional arousal, and behaviours.

When we delve into the history of neuroscience, one name that stands out prominently is Rodolfo Llinás. A trailblazer in the field, Llinás has made profound contributions to our understanding of the brain's inner workings. But how did this Colombian-born scientist carve out a path to becoming one of the most respected neuroscientists of our time? Learn about his journey in today's blog: https://bit.ly/4dNwreS

True or False: The human brain has more neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way? False – but both numbers are equally mind-blowing! The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, though the exact number is hard to pinpoint. In comparison, the human brain holds about 86 billion neurons. Still pretty incredible, right? Each neuron connects with thousands of others, creating an intricate network that drives everything we think, feel, and do. We’re only just scratching the surface of understanding this complexity. At the Brain Research Foundation, we fund vital research to uncover the brain's mysteries, paving the way for revolutionary treatments and better brain health for all.

💡Did you know? We published a definition of disability on our website. This definition, designed by our Disability & Accessibility Working Group, aims for consistency, clarity and inclusivity, and is underpinned by the 'social model' approach, which focuses on how people can be 'dis-abled' by barriers in their environment.

Our brains are the source of every single one of our perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Yet, the brain's definitive role in performance has been almost entirely neglected by sport scientists. Strange isn't it? After 30+ years at the forefront of neuroscience research, I founded Cerebral Performance to help athletes and coaches tap the brain’s potential for greater than marginal gains. Together, Brent Bookwalter and I created Project Tailwind as a major step in this direction. Join us as we put neuroscience into action as the official Mental Performance Partner of the Belgian Waffle Ride. https://lnkd.in/gTN2D_Xd
