None of the monks have ever studied neuroscience before. Not only are the concepts new to them, but there are many new words to learn. Some words do not have Tibetan translations. So, I try to introduce new words and ideas slowly. I also try to do several activities to break up my presentation. The "Brain, Brain" game in the video below provides an opportunity for the monks to work together and their responses help me understand what the monks know and what they think they know about the brain.
