Brains checks out The Brainstorm an neuroscience art installation by Sarah Vitak at the OMSI Mini Maker Faire. This exhibit uses electroencephalography (EEG) to turn your brainwaves into a thunderstorm!

Brains traveled down to Portland to speak with Sarah Vitak of Brainbow Industries about her Ballon-Art Installation of Brainbow Industries at the OMSI Mini Maker Faire. Brains walks us through Sarah’s model brain that she built out of balloons. At the maker fair, Brains worked with guests to spot some Tau protein accumulation in the brain, a potential sign of Alzheimer’s disease
