Exhibition Booth "Sensory Worlds in the Brain", August 29/30

We invite you to visit our booth in the UZH main building (UZH Campus Zentrum, Lichthof). Explore how our brain integrates different senses such as sight, sound, and touch and how this may differ in people with developmental or learning disorders. Step into virtual reality to journey through brain networks, explore 3D reconstructions of neural pathways, and try out interactive games inspired by our own research.

Want to dive deeper? Join our additional events co-organized with the Developmental Science Network Zurich (both in German):
