Reflection: Participating in Nit de la Recerca was an amazing opportunity to engage with the public through both a lecture and a workshop. I gave a talk titled “Do You Really Know How the Brain Works?”, where I had the chance to explain the complexities of brain function in an accessible and engaging way. Additionally, I led a workshop with my collegue Francesco Ciongoli called “Duelo de Cerebros”, where we taught attendees about functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and its applications. This experience reinforced my passion for science communication and highlighted the importance of making neuroscience understandable for everyone.
