Would You Like to Take a "Life Brain Cut"?... National Busan Science Museum Launches Joint Special Exhibition "Hilarious Neuroscience"

Interactive Neuroscience Exhibition: Learning Through Play
Final Stop in Busan After Daegu and Gwangju

What kind of science is hidden within the brain?

The National Busan Science Museum (Director Song Samjong) announced on September 22 that it will host the joint special exhibition "Hilarious Neuroscience" at the Kim Jin Jae Hall from October 1 to December 21, in partnership with the National Science Museum Foundation.

This exhibition, organized collaboratively by the National Busan Science Museum, the National Daegu Science Museum, and the National Gwangju Science Museum, aims to broaden public understanding of neuroscience by presenting how the brain affects daily life through a variety of interactive experiences.

Following exhibitions in Daegu in May and Gwangju in July, Busan will be the final stop for this event. The exhibition is divided into three main sections: ▲The Human Brain, ▲The Brain and Daily Life, and ▲Brain Health and the Future, featuring a total of 39 exhibits.

Hilarious Neuroscience Exhibition Booth.

In "Zone 1: The Human Brain," visitors can explore the evolution of the brain by comparing animal and human brains, experience reaction speed tests themed around neurons-the nerve cells that transmit stimuli and signals-and learn about common misconceptions in neuroscience.

"Zone 2: The Brain and Daily Life" uses artificial intelligence to measure emotions in the brain and features a rollercoaster VR experience to observe the brain's response to thrilling moments. Visitors can create their own artwork by combining brainwaves and AI, test their memory and challenge themselves with brain games and mazes in the Brain Playground, and experience relaxation for the brain through inspirational quotes.

"Zone 3: Brain Health and the Future" offers interactive experiences on diets and exercises that enhance brain function and maintain health. It also provides a glimpse into the future of neuroscience through organoid and AI-related technologies, and allows visitors to create their own art using brainwaves.

To enhance visitors' understanding, the National Busan Science Museum will offer a free "Exhibition Commentary Program" five times a day (10:00, 11:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00). The complex experience space "Creative Lab" will feature neuroscience-themed puzzles, board games, and maker activities.

Additional amenities include a space for sharing exhibition impressions, a souvenir shop, and a photo zone called "Life Brain Cut." Group and preferential discounts are available for admission. More details can be found on the National Busan Science Museum website.

The National Busan Science Museum also plans to expand the exhibition experience through family night events themed around brain hormones such as endorphins and dopamine, as well as by publishing a book tailored to children’s perspectives.

Song Samjong, Director of the National Busan Science Museum, said, "This special exhibition, jointly prepared by the three national science museums in Busan, Daegu, and Gwangju, marks a grand finale. We hope visitors can easily and enjoyably engage with neuroscience and fully experience the positive effects of brain hormones."
