PSYCHOLOGY APP OF THE WEEK
Brain Tutor
(free — click on your platform to be taken to either the iTunes store or Google)
DESCRIPTION
From Google Play Store and iTunes Store
“Explore the brain from the palm of your hand! Learn about the structure and function of the human brain by interacting with high-resolution rotatable 3D models in real-time like you’ve never experienced it before!
Brain Tutor uses rendered head and brain models as well as fiber tracts that were created from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a study volunteer. The MRI data allows to look “inside” the brain using real-time slicing at millimeter resolution. For students, cognitive neuroscientists, medical professionals and everyone interested in the brain, the program provides information about the anatomy and function of the human brain with various atlases describing and visualizing lobes, gyri, sulci, Brodmann areas, subcortical structures, selected specialized functional areas and major fiber tracts.”
HOW TO USE THIS APP
If you can connect your iOS or Android device to a video projector, you will have access to a wonderful app that will display all of the regions of the brain in color. Or you can ask your students to download the app and explore the brain.
