Get Ready for Brain Awareness Week - March 16-22, 2009

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is an international campaign dedicated to advancing public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research and increasing knowledge about how the brain works. BAW is now entering its fourteenth year as a catalyst for public understanding of brain science. Aurora College has joined with Advance Corporate Training Ltd. to provide you with the following workshops during Brain Awareness Week 2009.

“If we took all the phones in the world and all the wires (there are over four billion people on the planet), the number of connections and the trillions of messages per day would NOT equal the complexity or activity of a single human brain.”

Its time to know more.
