🤩 “My goal wasn’t best functioning but low cost, for people who can’t pay more than 200-300 Euros to be able to do simple things like grabbing a cup of coffee or a paper, a ball and the like.” More in our new blog post 👇👇 blog.backyardbrains.com/2025/03/low-...

You're looking at a functioning myoelectric robotic prosthetic hand custom-built for a person born without left-hand fingers! The engineer: student Jorge Iglesias Costas from Barcelona, who made it using our EMG sensor from Human Spikerbox. Blog post coming soon! #neuroskyence 📷 Jorge IC

Kids can do amazing things as scientists, if we only give them a nudge! Throwback to our report on an incredibly brave teen scientist from Tucson AZ and her research of stress tolerance in first responders. Kudos to her mentors too! #edusky #neuroskyence 👉 blog.backyardbrains.com/2024/05/stre...

Brain Awareness Week 2025 is coming soon! 🧠 ✨ We'll be sharing some brain facts online and in person! Who's excited?!? 🥳 @backyardbrains.bsky.social @sfnottawa.bsky.social @danafoundation.bsky.social

#BrainAwarenessWeek2025 is almost upon us! What exciting activities do you have planned for March 10-16? Make sure to tag us if you're using our kits. 🧠🎊

Check out our intern trying to elicit a response from our Venus flytrap. Turns out, the plant isn't easily fooled. Why do you think he's being so finicky? #edusky #neuroskyence #venusflytrap More on the project 👉 tinyurl.com/VenusFlytrapMeal youtu.be/vN1xx0sxTvI?...

Meet Renfield, our ravenous Venus Flytrap! Intern Matías is currently investigating how quickly this fly-loving plant plans for its next meal. (Okay, he isn't really called Renfield. But he does like his flies. 🤫) More in Matías' blog post 👇👇 tinyurl.com/VenusFlytrapMeal

After 15+ years of sticking with our ancient website that started as a dorm room project, we (finally!) made a new one. Check it out! backyardbrains.com

Throwback to the full video tutorial for this classic sleep-cycle EEG experiment! Success guaranteed as you'll likely to have more than one subject willing to catch some Zs in class. #edusky #eeg #neuroskyence #neuroscience youtu.be/TIcKCUELrkY

Tag us in your brainy quests, where'er you may go, #NeuroscienceEverywhere — let the whole wide world know!

I love @backyardbrains.bsky.social so glad to find them here!

From our co-founder's speech at Congreso Futuro, Chile's largest conference on science and technology. Check out the video if you speak Spanish! Tim's live demo of Iron Man's gauntlet a.k.a. The Claw begins at 1:55:04. ▶️ tinyurl.com/BYBCongresoF... #congresofuturo2025 #neuroscience

Nothing beats hearing your first spike! 🧐

Thank you to @backyardbrains.bsky.social for the great article!! blog.backyardbrains.com/2025/01/vapi...

Wishing you a nice and calm holiday season and a very brainy 2025! 🎁❄️🎄

Our proudest moment in 2024? 🌱 Seeing a peer-reviewed study published by high-schoolers we mentored. They started an open-source library of plant electrophysiological responses. A prime example of the #openscience spirit that we so cherish! #edusky #neuroskyence 👇 tinyurl.com/HiSchoolPaper

A little birdie told us this is a good place to be. Hello #neuroskyence and #edusky!

can roaches be part of the solution to making neurophysiology, a typically very elite field, more accessible? in Arizona, @ulisesricoy.bsky.social & colleagues are using the critters to create low cost educational experiments also ft. @backyardbrains.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2024/12/10/c...

Their backpacks may be more powerful but ours look better in the classroom 🧐
