Whenever we touch, hear or see something, our brain processes these stimuli. It also processes inputs from within the body. These processes allow us to interpret the world around us, control our own internal environment and are critical to our survival. Our group worked with a team from the Neuroscience Institute led by Professor Fiona Boissonade, and together we collaborated with creative partners Diva Creative. Together we presented a range of material from videos to interactive activities to demonstrate how the brain functions and what it is like for someone when sensory processing is impaired.
