AB  - A study based on a survey questionnaire was conducted with 91 teachers across multiple high schools in the United States to understand their perceptions about the usefulness of using neurorobots to teach neuroscience. In this paper, neurorobot refers to a combination of robotics, active learning, and neuroscience. To situate teachers with an example of how robots can be used to teach neuroscience, we describe an educational tool called the SpikerBot. Our preliminary results indicate that there is an opportunity for neuroscience-oriented robots in secondary education, provided sufficient on-boarding and training videos.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
