Welcome to the Science Mondays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Science Mondays will feature stuff from the world of science and science related content. Our goal here at Geek Alabama is to hopefully have you learn something useful and fulfilling. Science is a geek’s best friend, and we love featuring science content here at Geek Alabama.
Dig into the neuroscience behind our sense of direction and find out why some people are better at navigating than others.
Whether you identify as a wayfinding whiz or get lost returning from the grocery store, your brain has a built-in navigation system that facilitates spatial skills, from sensing which direction is north to map-reading and route-learning. So, why do we still struggle to find our way? And why do some of us find ourselves lost more often than others? Oliver Baumann digs into our sense of direction.
Lesson by Oliver Baumann, directed by Anton Bogaty.
