Electric Muscles! Station 1: How your brain \u201ctalks\u201d to muscles.<\/b> This station has brain specimens – including a real human brain! – and skull models that are props for talking to visitors about the brain and how it controls our muscles and behavior.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Electric Muscles! Station 2: Hear your muscles working! <\/b>This station will use portable EMG recorders hooked up to tablets or iPods to \u201chear\u201d and \u201csee\u201d your muscles working.
