You might’ve heard that people are either left-brained, making them logical, or right-brained, making them creative…but this is not the case! 🧠
We are all constantly using both sides of our brain, as these functions come from both hemispheres working together! 🤝

Have you heard of this common myth? Many people think that humans use only 10% of their brains, but in reality, neural activity is used across most of the brain every day! 🧠
According to Dekker et al. (2012), 48% of school teachers believed this myth!
Stay tuned for some more myth busting! 🔎

Welcome to our labs at Queen Mary! 🧠
The first lab is our Child Development Lab. This is a ‘chill out’ space or waiting area for children and parents.
The second lab is the Eye Tracking Lab. Eye tracking will be used to see how animations are impacting children’s executive functioning! 🧠

Meet the team currently working on the Animating Minds Project as part of Queen Mary's Child Development Lab!
The aim of the project is to investigate the impact of children's TV animation features on the executive functions of children using eye tracking, physiology and fNIRS technology 🧠👁️
