Engaging neuroscience labs & outreach

Enhance your teaching & expand your impact

Backyard Brains neuroscience kits are used in undergraduate labs, psychology courses, and biomedical engineering programs at leading universities worldwide. We provide affordable, hands-on neuroscience experiments for students who want to learn neural recording techniques without the cost and complexity of high-end lab equipment.

For University outreach & AP science

Bring the cutting-edge of brain science into your AP Biology, AP Psychology, or Human Anatomy & Physiology classrooms with real-time neural experiments.

Our affordable, research-grade tools let students record real neuron activity, explore reaction times, and even control movement using bioelectric signals.

Neuroscience outreach partnerships

Want to create a neuroscience outreach initiative? Let’s collaborate to bring hands-on neuroscience education to your community.

  • Run a Brain Awareness Week program

    Using hands-on demos.

  • Provide neuroscience experiments

    For high school summer programs.

  • Incorporate EEG & neural activity demos

    Into student-led STEM outreach events.
