May 16 in London: A Science Show by Ilya Kolmanovsky for Kids (6+) and Their Parents!

The brain is a master of deception. You think you see the world with your own eyes, but in reality, you’re watching a movie that your brain has chosen to project at this very moment. And while your brain constantly tries to explain the world to you, it often gets things wrong.

So who’s really in charge — you or your brain?

Join Ilya Kolmanovsky’s science show of illusions to find out the answer, test your wits against the mighty supercomputer inside your head, discover how it tricks you, and learn how to see the world rationally — not just the way your brain wants you to.

Using neuroscience, you’ll experience what it feels like to grow an extra hand, step into someone else’s body, see with your tongue, hear colors, and dive into virtual reality as in Avatar — but not for games, for real: for learning, collaboration, and even rehabilitation.

You’re going to live in the age of neurotechnology — it’s time to start mastering it today with the show ProBrain!
