Is exercise the secret to good grades? It might just be. Work side by side with New York University neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki to test the hypothesis that physical activity can enhance learning abilities, memory, and mood in healthy young adults.

Students participate in a short aerobic exercise, and then put on an EEG headset to take computer tests that determine how well they remember sequences and perform repetitive tasks. Please note: Physical activity is involved in this program.

Advance registration required. Classes are offered at 11am and 1pm.

And don't miss the City of Science fun in Washington Square Park!
