Alina Ivan giving a talk entitled, "Hack your brain", on the Mind and Body Stage, at New Scientist Live 2022
How do our brains work? And how can you ‘hack your brain’ to get the most out of it? Join Alina Ivan from Braintastic! Science for a whirlwind introduction to the brain and nervous system. Along the way she will create giant neuron live on stage and show what we can learn when brain signals get hacked. Packed with memorable large scale demos, this talk is perfect for anyone with a brain. Alina Ivan is part of the Braintastic! Science team who develop and deliver science shows and workshops for schools to help young people understand and get the best out of their amazing brains. She has a BSc in Psychology and a MSc in Psychological Research Methods from the University of Exeter, and when not presenting for Braintastic! works in the Department of Psychological Medicine at King’s College London and for mental health start-up Augmentive. She is passionate about mental health research and through Braintastic! Science translates that into supporting mental wellbeing in schools, as well as exploring science and creativity through art-science collaborations and our workshops for schools. Her work as a Science Communicator for Kings College, contributor for The Psychologist and co-founder of the ‘Plugging In’ podcast made her a perfect fit for our team!
