#CrowdCloudLIVE After each episode's WORLD premiere in April, show host, producer, and people seen on the show participated in post-premiere roundtable discussions. Viewers like you listened in, asked questions, and were able to dive deeper into the power of Citizen Science.

Watch the recorded Facebook Live events now. Discover more about how Citizen Science is revolutionizing the ways we gather, analyze, and utilize the data that fuels scientific research, discovery, and community action.

GOAL:

Map 3D structure of neurons to advance brain science.

The brain is a complicated organ to understand, but EyeWire’s games are not! You can map the brain, along with 200,000 people from all over the world, in collaboration with the Seung Lab at Princeton, and with no scientific background needed. It’s fun, and appeals to traditional gamers, but it’s also helping to advance serious research. By mapping the 3D structure of neurons, you can help neuroscience researchers advance knowledge of how neurons connect and network to process information. The game is like a 3D puzzle where you are challenged to map branches of a neuron by reconstructing them with the help of artificial intelligence. You gain points and eventually end up on the leaderboard where you can earn badges, and swag too. If you’re good enough you can climb the ranks to Advanced Player, Scout, and the prestigious “Order of the Scythe.” EyeWire is a great way to help advance science and even make new friends around the world along the way.
