Your brain is your most complex organ. It has evolved to sense and respond to the environment, giving humans and other animals incredible abilities to interact with and move through the world. Given its complexity, there is still a vast amount we do not know about it. A key approach to understanding the brain is finding where it controls different functions like recognizing faces or catching a ball. Join SFU Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology associate professor Dylan Cooke for a talk about how brain mapping gives scientists clues about how brains work and how they have evolved.
