2005 Brain Bee winner
Southampton, NY - Jericho High School senior Suraj Rambhia took first place this Saturday in Long Island’s sixth annual regional Brain Bee competition at Long Island University’s Southampton College. Rambhia was awarded $300 and is sent to Baltimore, Maryland for the International Competition. The grand prize for the winner of the International Competition is $3000 and an all expense paid trip to the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington, D.C. and an individual trophy for his high school.
The Brain Bee is part of Brain Awareness Week spearheaded by both the Dana Alliance, a philanthropic foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience. The goal is to motivate youth to learn about the brain and pursue careers in biomedical brain research in the fight against mental retardation, cerebral palsy, spinal-cord injury and other brain disorders.
Questions composed by Long Island University professor of psychology Paul Forestell tested seventeen high school students from all over Long Island on their knowledge of the brain and how it relates to intelligence, memory, emotions, sensations, movement, stress, aging, sleep and neurological disorders such as drug addiction, Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
