Code Number: 11A10.20
Demo Title: Model of the Human Brain
Condition: Good
Principle: Physiology
Area of Study: Physiology, Biology
Equipment: Human Brain Model.
Procedure:
No advanced notice required. Parts of the brain are numbered and an explanation of these parts can be found in the file. The laser etched crystal cube while small is a very good example of the brain network.
The Alpha Wave detector will show one aspect of brain function if operated properly.
