What is a brain? - 2% of the total body weight - 20% of the energy consumption

- 100 billions neurons (cells) - Innumerable interconnections between neurons

No more than a physical matter, however…

A brain tells a lot about yourself

1. Brain shape is unique to each person.2. Functions are localized in small regions 3. Brain shape is related to personality,

cognitive functions, etc. –– i.e., your mind.

NeuroProfile allows you to learn about yourself from your brain.
