Can the Brain Be Influenced Through the Ear?

The vagus nerve connects the brain to the heart, lungs, and stomach - but can stimulating the nerve also affect the brain?

As part of the Hearts & Minds knowledge festival, Dokk1's science communicator Matilda Tjellden has built a model of the vagus nerve together with festival guests. On Saturday and Sunday you can draw on and around the model on your own.

Workshops are held on 24/9 and 25/9 - advance booking is required. The event is part of Folkeuniversitetet's Hearts & Minds.
