Public outreach of CRC 889 – Test and Learn about Your Senses

Scientists of the Collaborative Research Center 889 have participated in public discussion events and organized two major public outreach events. On September 18^th 2011 and March 17^th 2013, CRC 889 researchers invited the Göttingen public for experiments and lectures on the senses ("Tag der Sinne"). At 22 different set-ups various experiments on stimuli and sensory processing were performed by and on approximately 300 children, adolescents and adults together with the experts.
