Brain Week is back in Paris and all over France for its 26th edition, from March 12 to 17, 2024! And as usual, the Cité des Sciences et de l' Industrie is mobilizing to bring knowledge to as many people as possible, especially children. For the occasion, numerous events, shows and conferences accessible to all are planned, for the price of an admission ticket, to raise public awareness of our organ, so important in our daily lives.
Everyone has a brain, but nobody really knows what it is. The source of numerous studies, neuroscientists and neurologists are trying to unravel its mysteries and understand how it works... But also why it sometimes malfunctions. Come and discover the real methods of clinical analysis in the form of a fun family game trail! Games of memory, logic, motor skills... anything to get your neurons firing and evaluate your brain!

The "Stratovie" show takes you inside the ferrymen's lodge. A secret place, plunged into darkness, with seating for only a few disciples. In this space, with its distinctive soundscape, the two actors tell you the story of the state of Stratovia. Through magic tricks, the cards and protagonists of the story come together and complete each other. Spectators will be led to question their free will and make choices, just like the citizens of Stratovia.
An immersion through the senses, imagination and illusion.

What are the different types of nap? What are the consequences for the body? What do we know about brain activity during sleep? Immersed in a soundscape, you'll be invited to a collective siesta under the stars! A personal moment in a unique setting, the planetarium at the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie.
