Battle of the Brains

January 23 and 24, 2021

COMPETITION INFORMATION

The Battle of the Brains is a weekend-long virtual competition devoted to stimulating one’s knowledge of interdisciplinary neuroscience concepts, including but not limited to neuroethics, cognitive neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases, neuroeconomics, cultural neuroscience, criminal and forensic psychology, neurosurgery, and the neuroscience of visual art and music. No prior experience is necessary and the event is 100% free to attend! Participants will form a team of 3-4 students in their age bracket (middle school, high school, or undergraduate) to collaborate on unlocking interdisciplinary trivia modules. Any students above the age of 13 years are welcome to attend and compete--prizes will be announced soon! This event is the perfect place to explore the vast breadth of neuroscience in a casual setting while meeting fellow brain enthusiasts.
