First, we will provide demonstrations of insects so you understand how their brains work from the outside. Then we will guide you through how to build your own SpikerBoxes. Everyone will receive the parts required to build, plus step-by-step instructions on how to solder each component in place.

Finally comes the fun part. Science! We�ll go through a whole bunch of fun experiments you can do with your new SpikerBox. We will learn about �Spikes�, and �Rate Coding�, how temperature affects the neurons, and how electricity can make muscles move!

You will also see demonstrations of our EMG SpikerBox and preview some new yet-to-be-released devices!
