Understanding neuroscience is indeed a relatively complex feat, so I've lured in someone who can talk at more a Tiff level on all things the human brain and the intersection of neuroscience, biology, physiology and technology. Tim Marzullo from Backyard Brains has done some pretty rad things to teach schoolkids about neuroscience, like building a remote-control cockroach (for real). Maybe next he'll build on their current technology of being able to control someone else's body remotely with your own and allow me to have my next fight with someone else wearing the blows on my behalf whilst I orchestrate their movement from the safety of outside the ropes. I hear about some interesting concepts and we discuss the good, bad and ugly of where this fascinating tech can (and likely will) take us.

In this episode of First to 15, we're joined by Supriya Nair, who fences with the Rain City Fencing Center in Washington state. Supriya had always heard from her coaches that pre-bout warmups were important, but — being the curious future scientist that she is — she wondered if there was any quantitative data to prove it. So she set out to investigate this for herself — using special equipment to test that hypothesis. The result was an award-winning experiment she calls Neurofencing.See the Backyard Brains article about NeurofencingRead more about Supriya's researchVisit the USA Fencing websiteFollow USA Fencing on InstagramRead a transcript for this episodeFirst to 15: The Official Podcast of USA FencingHost: Bryan WendellCover art: Manna CreationsTheme music: Brian Sanyshyn

Dr. Christopher Harris (@chrisharris) is a neuroscientist, engineer and educator at the EdTech company Backyard Brains. He is principal investigator on an NIH-funded project to develop brain-based robots for neuroscience education. In their recent open-access research paper, Dr. Harris and his team describe, and present results from, their classroom-based pilots of this new and highly innovative approach to neuroscience and STEM education. They argue that neurorobotics has enormous potential as an education technology, because it combines multiple activities with clear educational benefits including neuroscience, active learning, and robotics. Dr. Harris did his undergraduate degree in Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Warwick, where he developed his life-long love of the brain. For his graduate work at the University of Sussex and subsequent postdoctoral work at the National Institutes of Health he applied electrophysiological, optical and computational techniques to construct cellular-resolution maps of large and diverse neural circuits. He is particularly interested in reward-system, visual system, and central motor pattern generator circuits. Dr. John Griffiths (@neurodidact) is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, and Head of Whole Brain Modelling at the CAMH Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics. His research group (www.grifflab.com) works at the intersection of computational neuroscience and neuroimaging, building simulations of human brain activity aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological illness.

It was really fun to talk to Greg Gage during SfN in November 2017. During our interview, he demonstrated some of the new neural educational toys from Backyard Brains. We were able to read neural activity, send that neural activity into his arm, and finally send his into my arm. I didn't like the last one, it worked but it felt like electricity in my arm. Regardless, the work they are doing to teach children about neuroscience is great!
