Wayne State University’s THINK lab (www.wsuthinklab.com) use the generous Michigan SfN Outreach Award to support classroom visits for Dearborn and Detroit Public Schools, as well as local recreation centers throughout the summer. The Award supported the purchase of mobile physiological demonstrations, including skin conductance and electroencephalography (EEG), so students can measure their autonomic nervous system and brain activity in real-time. THINK lab scientists, including undergraduates, graduate students, postbacc students, postdocs, and medical students, also share information about neuroscience, college, and STEM careers broadly
