Another film looks deeper into hallucination and even makes the audience have an auditory hallucination as they watch and listen to a film.

 

During your journey, you’ll find touchable 3D printed brains of animals, fun mini experiments to trick your brain and fun facts about the brain on the ‘Brain Cards’.
