It was a joy to share how the different lab at the @spinalcordgroup.bsky.social investigate sensory processing and neural circuits.

This project has grown from a concept into a real educational tool—and seeing people engage with it has been the most rewarding part! #SciOutreach #STEMeducation

Each sensor responds to a specific input—like pressure or temperature—and converts it into an electrical signal that travels to the brain. 🧩⚙️

We showcased the board at the @glascifest.bsky.social , where it sparked curiosity and great conversations with audience of all ages.

We are excited to share an outreach project from MVLS’s @spinalcordgroup.bsky.social, @weirlab.bsky.social and @davehughesgla.bsky.social lab, in collaboration with @mhassan9.bsky.social and Mahmoud Wagih from @uofgengineering.bsky.social.
