Do you know which body part has the most touch nerves? Or that your touch and temperature sensing nerves can get tired? Can you imagine a life where your sense of pain didn’t exist or where pain is constantly present? How would it change how you interact with people around you?
Get hands-on and discover the science behind how we feel and touch our way through the world.
Format for the night:
The event starts at 19:00 and will be in two halves - Firstly, you will have the chance to participate in hands-on activities exploring the senses, before an informal discussion with scientists, clinicians and individuals with reduced and altered senses.
