Look
at the line on the computer screen. It's a record of
the electrical impulses coming from the live sea slug
brain in the dish below. Look through the magnifier
to see the live brain. Notice the tiny glass electrode
that has been inserted into the brain. The electrode
is used to record the activity of, and sends signals
to a single cell in the live brain. Push the button
and turn the knob on the panel below to send impulses
to the live brain cell. Each time you see a spike on
the screen, it means the live brain cell in the dish
below is firing an impulse. Your brain fires the same
kind of impulses all the time, creating memories and
thoughts. Push and hold the button while you turn the
knob to signal the live brain cell to fire more impulses.
Look at the computer screen to see the impulses.
