Bugatti + The Brain: The striking similarity between play and gray (matter)

April 7, 2021 Lindsay Portnoy

What travels faster than a Bugatti and carries over 1,000 trillion passengers from a single drivers seat? 

The three pound mass between your ears is home to billions of neurons whose signals travel over 270 miles per hour to send messages, otherwise known as human thought. 

Making up only 2% of the human body the brain is the source of what makes us, us. Who we are, what we do, how we move, why we think and react to the world around us.

Join us as we explore the science of perception, attention, and learning to see how our motivation to learn can be best explained by our innate drive to play. You’ll see that games are anything but child’s play, and instead hold the key to unlock limitless learning!
