Touchy feely

Thu 20 March 2014

Cambridge Science Centre

Do you know which body part has the most touch nerves? Or that your touch and temperature sensing nerves can get tired? Can you imagine a life where your sense of pain didn’t exist or where pain is constantly present? How would it change how you interact with people around you?

Get hands-on and discover the science behind how we feel and touch our way through the world.

Format for the night:

The event starts at 19:00 and will be in two halves - Firstly, you will have the chance to participate in hands-on activities exploring the senses, before an informal discussion with scientists, clinicians and individuals with reduced and altered senses. You will be able to chat about what you experienced and hear about current research.

Cost: free
