In order to help offset carbon produced from the NOI conference we are planting and maintaining 1,200 indigenous trees on Kangaroo Island.
This conference is structured differently to most. With a 90 minute lunch break you'll have time for a delicious meal, but also an hour or so to wander through a variety of entertaining and educational sideshows including material from our sponsors. If there is a workshop that you can't get to, you may be able to get to aspects of the material at lunchtimes.
The COCI Art exhibition (3)
The Creative Outputs Creative Inputs exhibition will be open for the duration of the conference. An extraordinary and very graphic painting, drawing and sculptural expression of pain, stress and other brain outputs.
The conference as an experiment (3)
Pop into one of the mobile labs and let the eager students get some data out of you. In return get a feel of a new research movement in rehabilitation.
Illusions room (3)
Wander through a room full of illusions – lose your bits, find other bits, grow some bits or shrink some bits. On the way get an idea of how the brain might work. Run by students of the University of South Australia.
Watch your nerves moving (3)
A visual neurodynamics feast. Come and see the latest nerve movies. Check out the magnificent sliding and gliding of your peripheral nerves via ultrasound. Maybe recall some neuroanatomy. Run by students of the University of South Australia.
Do nothing (3)
Can you ever do nothing? Well if doing nothing is escaping the intellectual nourishment and wandering along the mighty River Torrens, slithering down the café strip, visiting the Art Gallery of South Australia or checking out the Adelaide Central Market then so be it.
Visit the gorgeous sponsors (3)
Say g'day to the conference sponsors, and check out their wares. These are some of the nicest people on earth.
Smell, taste, sounds and brains (3)
Wine, chocolate, olive oil, cheese. There are some great original smells and tastes in South Australia. Let your receptors be titillated all in the aim of understanding your brain, and help us search for a one in a hundred 'supersensor'. All under the guidance of Charles Spence (neurogastronomist) and Zanie Flanaghan from the Adelaide Farmers Market.
Watch your brain in action (2)
Let us put a small device on your head to observe your brain waves. We will still let you back into the afternoon session no matter what the results are.
Latin dance workshop (2)
Need a workout? Give your united body and brain a workout with some fun blended samba and salsa. For beginners and Rio beach babes and boys. Led by Tanja Jorgic.
Bottom Sculpting (2)
This is a definite necessity post lunch. Anna-Louise Bouvier's famous bottom sculpting session puts the brain into your bum and bum into your brain.
Tattooist (2)
One in four people between the ages of 18 and 50 have a tattoo. Does it hurt, what does it mean, what questions do tattooists ask their clients, is it socially acceptable? Watch a tattoo being done. Maybe you would like one?
Scientific Twitter (1)
The world of neuroscience is at your fingertips. Let an expert bring you up to skill with an introduction to the use of professional Twitter and Facebook.
Note: These workshops and lunchtime activities as of December 2011. There are likely to be some changes before April 2012.
