Not dissimilar to From Remote Stars, the band was brought to fruition by Greg Curnoe; he co-founded the Nihilist Spasm Band to produce a soundtrack for his 1965 film, ā€œNo Movieā€.

Just finished a very intense 3 day @CFREF_APOGEE review of @Brains_CAN. So many positive and interesting discussions, and really good food for thought going forward. The present and future of #neuroscience @WesternU looks very bright to me.
The best part for me was seeing our @BrainsCAN @WesternU community engaging so enthusiastically in the process and really doing the business to show off the fantastic work going on here.
