L'iniziativa, che in inglese suona Brain Awareness Week, intende proprio promuovere la consapevolezza delle, o sensibilizzare le, persone sul fatto che in fondo hanno un cervello, e dunque potrebbero beneficiare della ricerca scientifica su quell'organo. Scherzi a parte, il cervello, come qualsiasi altro organo del corpo umano, è soggetto a disfunzioni e patologie, sulle quali solo la ricerca scientifica può dire qualcosa. Inoltre, e forse più di ogni altro nostro organo, lo studio sul cervello è interessante proprio come ricerca in sè, per scoprire il funzionamento di questa strana cosa che abbiamo in testa.Per chi volesse consultare l'elenco di tutte o quasi le iniziative che si svolgeranno in Italia (e nel mondo) durante la settimana, è utile consultare il motore di ricerca presente nel sito. Questo intanto è l'elenco delle iniziative italiane. Cliccando su ogni link si accede a una breve descrizione dell'evento più il collegamento al sito:
