CMU Neuroscience Institute
@cmu-neuroscience.bsky.social
The Neuroscience Institute was launched to bring together faculty and students from across the University to conduct multi-disciplinary work to advance the state of brain science.
Come along with CMU Professor Timothy Verstynen for a playful dive into the “neuroscience of zombies,” where movie monsters meet real brain science. Along the way you’ll learn some surprising truths about how our own minds and bodies work.
Wednesday, October 29, Noon ET On Zoom
