EyeWire | A Game to Map the Brain
EyeWire is an online community of “citizen neuroscientists” who map neural connections by playing a game. The EyeWire Games have begun! Learn more on the blog. By joining EyeWire, you can help map connections between retinal neurons. This information advances neuroscience research on how the retina functions in visual perception. You also help the EyeWire team, based at MIT, develop computational technologies for mapping the connectome.

The Global Classroom was born in the minds of Deb Frazier’s (@Deb_Frazier) young students in March 2011:“Our first grade class [in Ohio, USA] was thinking about the ways people around the world meet their needs. We began to do some research, diving into books about various cultures. While sharing new learning about India, Puju, whose family is from India, commented “My dad says that’s not really true.”From there we knew we needed more than books ... We needed to talk with people in other cultures to really discover the many ways in which they meet their needs.”Global Classroom 2012-13 is an exciting opportunity for you to make a positive difference - in your classroom, community, and around the world. We hope you will join us on this journey, and help us realise the full potential of this amazing learning community.We will officially launch in late October 2012, and run through to the end of the Northem Hemisphere school year in June 2013. Over that time, we will be hosting a wide range of global projects, and providing opportunities for new and experienced teachers alike to explore new ways to learn, share, connect, and collaborate worldwide.Working together, we can make this dream a reality.
