Summary

On-site Workshop aims toward building the knowledge of Neuroscience and how thoughts are formed in order to build a prototype able to read the signals coming out from the brain to the muscles.

The workshop are going to be delivered in 3 days:

Day 1 –> Solder small component

Day 2 –> Solder Big component

Day 3 –> Test The board

 

 

What You'll Need

This workshop will need :

1- DIY Muscle SpikerSheild.

2- Solder Station

3- Solder Wire

4- Presentation

5- LCD Code

6- LED Code

 

The Instructions

Introduction

This section, will introduce the participant to the Neuroscience and the formation of thoughts.

1- We will motivate the participant to straighten up their mind in a way to find how we can think and imagine.

2- We will share together our opinion about a quote.

 

  • Most of the participant will try to reflect their imagination on their life and how real their imagination.

2- Then we will ask them how we are imagining these things.

 

  • Most of them will start saying things about their dreams, and they need to sleep to imagine.
  • Our Imagination works as a link between what’s in our mind and reality, mostly it’s a way of linking ideas with what we see, smell, taste, and touch.

3- Then we will ask how these thoughts are formed.

 

  • Most of the participant will say it’s in our brain.

4- Thoughts are a chemical release in the brain, which generate an electrical signal in the neurons, This signal will propagate like a wave to thousands of neurons.

5- Explain the neurons as an information messenger uses electrical pulses and chemical signals.

6- Then we will describe the human brain as a complex organ weight up to 3 pounds and are formed out of water and fats.

7- Then we will show them a video about the human brain.

8- Then we will ask them for an example of a human made thing that can mimic the brain.

 

  • Most of them will say the computer
  • some of the student will say the CPU.

 

What we will be doing today

In this section we will show the participant what we will do today and we will show the participant the working principle of the board they are building.

1- We will tell the participant that we will be soldering the board of Muscle shield, so we can read the signals reaches the muscles from the brain.

2- Then we will show a video for the participant to show what the board is capable of.

3- Then we will show the needed component to have the board done

Assembly

In this section, we will show the step-by-step to solder the board.
