Building the Brain: Exhibit Interactive Prototypes

The American Museum of Natural History announced Brain: The Inside Story, an amazing and stimulating exhibition that will give visitors a new perspective and insight into their own brains using imaginative art, vivid brain scan imaging, and thrilling interactive exhibits that will engage the whole family.

Watch as Helene Alonso, the Museum's Director of Exhibit Interactives and Media, discusses the process of building Brain's interactive elements and discover how new technologies are employed in a museum environment through the use of interactive prototypes.

Brain features the latest cutting-edge research from the treating of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to the recent studies of more intangible aspects like the mapping of our emotional responses. Brain: The Inside Story will open November 20, 2010 and remain on view until August 14, 2011, after which it will begin an international tour.
