Presentations typically range from 30-60 minutes and can follow a lecture, seminar, or Q&A format. We can discuss topics such as: the aging brain, the life of a scientist, how memory works, the representation of memory in literature and film, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, and psychology research methods. We welcome the opportunity to present in venues such as senior centers, lifetime learning classes, and afterschool programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519743076582-N5927RZ70D0O7SAF3E6D/BCbrain.jpg Outreach-old - Brain Awareness Week Activities Brain Awareness Week is an international campaign dedicated to advancing public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. The CANLab is proud to work with other laboratories at Boston College to participate in this initiative. During the spring, we organize outreach activities at locations ranging from preschools to libraries to senior centers. If you have a group of people interested in learning more about the brain, let us know and we will work with you to arrange an outreach event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519742381184-1B0Z6CW50VF3TXXH4T58/Morrisoutreach.jpg Outreach-old - Events for Children We offer hands-on activities to help younger children learn about the brain and about specific cognitive abilities. Examples include building model brains out of playdough, using an egg-drop to demonstrate the importance of head protection, or playing "pin the spinal cord on the brain." We also invite tours of our laboratory for students who are interested in learning more about how scientific studies are conducted. https://www.bccanlab.com/20162018 daily 0.75 2022-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519747669461-I1P1RBVQBUSRPYBOS8CT/NEVERmodel.jpeg 2016-2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519756984489-KA8L8MAYJZL1FYD2U4FW/Madan_2016.jpeg 2016-2018 graphical abstract from Madan & Kensinger, 2016 https://www.bccanlab.com/20132015 daily 0.75 2022-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519757044811-EXASZNKV5JGZWHBZHLKR/Payne_Kensinger.jpg 2013-2015 Cunningham et al.,2014 (B) and Bennion et al., 2015 (A,C,D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519748494952-NT96XC92ETAT1AIA0JHK/Allard_2014.jpeg 2013-2015 from Allard & Kensinger, 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519757079078-TB4YQA2RD4AIGJOTXFCC/A-Representative-posterior-distribution-of-the-reconstructed-uncinate-fasciculus.png.jpg 2013-2015 from Ford & Kensinger, 2014 https://www.bccanlab.com/researchstudy daily 0.75 2023-12-04 https://www.bccanlab.com/publications daily 0.75 2025-08-20 https://www.bccanlab.com/outreach daily 0.75 2024-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519755604589-5ZIEW34OGC84HDR4YXKF/EK-CNS.jpg Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519755656974-YOEQ98I0O1B2DQJHSYSG/Morrisoutreach.jpg Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/1519755875116-ARQD1BCKVFTBB0VX2ZO3/BCbrain.jpg Outreach https://www.bccanlab.com/researchteam daily 0.75 2025-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/edbf818c-cf35-4d05-a904-c064fd9f8889/IMG_5965.jpg Research team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a94a03f5cfd7987c5882f0a/2eb68d73-b77b-40d5-9f7c-e75c5ce22ebf/022223LP019v1.jpg Research team - Elizabeth Kensinger Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience Dept.
