Greg Gage Speaking Topics

  • Popular Neuroscience: How Learning About the Brain is Easier—And More Fun—Than You Think

    In this energetic, highly entertaining talk, TED Fellow Greg Gage dissects a cockroach—live on stage—to show how brains receive and deliver electric responses. As the cockroach’s leg twitches, Gage uses a low-cost version of electrophysiology to see and hear the insect’s brain function on his iPad. It’s an astounding “Aha!” moment for audience members that breaks down the assumed barriers of neuroscience research—too expensive, too complicated, too advanced—and shows students that hands-on learning about the brain is possible, right here and right now.
