Your brain is what defines you. But how much do scientists really know about this most mysterious of organs? What is consciousness? How does memory work? You can find out during Brain Awareness Week.

Brain Awareness Week is a global celebration of the latest brain science. It's coordinated by the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB), an organisation that promotes brain research, and in the USA by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. During Brain Awareness Week, hundreds of events around the world inspire and inform the general public, providing information on the latest advances in brain research.

“Brain Awareness Week helps to ensure that invaluable research, and scientists' future plans - and dreams - are recognised everywhere, most importantly, by the general public,” says EDAB vice chairman Colin Blakemore.

This year you can learn about food and its effect on the brain in Newcastle, visit a neuroscience research lab in London, and even discover where creativity and neuroscience meet in Glasgow, with an art exhibition expressing the feelings of a group of people who have experienced brain injury.
