The Brain Balloon is the flagship of the International Brain Foundation. The balloon is capturing the attention of the world and igniting imaginations. Often referred to as “The World’s Largest Brain,” the Brain Balloon is the most complex special-shaped hot air balloon ever created. It is much more than just another hot air balloon, it has become an aerial icon that captures enormous media attention everywhere it appears.

The Brain Balloon was designed by International Brain Foundation Founder and President, Scott Gibbs, MD, FACS, with the purpose or raising public awareness about the importance of the brain and the diseases that afflict it, while promoting education, and encouraging all people to live their lives with high purpose.

“The World’s Largest Brain” is igniting imaginations and inspiring hope among all people challenged by neurological diseases, disorders and injuries. Individuals with nervous system conditions, along with their families, need inspiration and a super-sized message to the world about the importance of continued research and greater public awareness.

We believe “The World’s Largest Brain” serves as a strong symbol of hope and human possibility while elevating public interest and understanding of the brain. "We're not just flying a balloon, we are flying a mission for education, hope and human potential!"
