Mimi and the Mind Explorers
Neuroscience is genuinely fascinating. It usually just arrives wrapped in dense textbooks and academic language. Mimi and the Mind Explorers is my attempt to fix that for a younger audience.
The idea
Mimi takes one real finding from behavioural neuroscience and turns it into a short, bright, visual episode that feels at home on a phone. No jargon, no homework energy. Just the genuinely surprising parts of brain science, told quickly and made to be remembered.
Who it is for
This is the playful side of the project, made for a young audience, girls especially, who are curious about how their mind works but have never been handed neuroscience in a form that looks like it belongs to them. The aim is simple: make brain science feel inviting rather than intimidating, early enough to matter.
Why I built it
I have a PhD in behavioural neuroscience and a decade of art direction, and AI tools let me write, design and produce this content on my own. Mimi and the Mind Explorers is part of the same idea behind this whole site: that you can build and share the thing you wish had existed when you were younger.
The two sides of Mimi
Mimi comes in two flavours for two audiences. This page is the young, curious one. Her older sibling project, Train Your Brain With Mimi, runs a daily abstract-reasoning puzzle for people who like to keep their mind sharp.
