Researchers at the BrainVisionCenter participated in the Brain Awareness Week event series hosted at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), where they showcased their work to hundreds of interested students and offered a glimpse into the world of neuroscience. 

Our researchers are no strangers to education or to introducing the next generation to the mysteries of scientific life-especially when they can do so through engaging and interactive demonstrations. During the event, visitors explored key concepts of brain research using a LEGO mouse model, alongside our world-first device, Moculus. 

The Moculus is the result of a collaboration between the BrainVisionCenter and the HUN-REN Institute of Experimental Medicine (HUN-REN KOKI). This virtual reality (VR) headset, specifically optimized for mice, opens up entirely new perspectives in the study of brain function, particularly in visual and sensory processing. 

By using Moculus, our researchers contribute to advances in restoring vision, as well as to improving the diagnosis and future treatment of central nervous system disorders. 

The event provided an excellent opportunity to bring science closer to the younger generation and to demonstrate how curiosity can evolve into a career in research.
