who thinks that scientists can't be artists need look no further
than Dr. Greg Dunn and Dr. Brian Edwards. The neuroscientist and applied physicist
have paired together to create an artistic series of images that the artists describe as
“the most fundamental self-portrait ever created.” Literally going inside, the pair has
blown up a thin slice of the brain 22 times in a series called Self-Reflected.
Traveling across 500,000 neurons, the images took two years to complete. Funded by theNational Science Foundation,
Dunn and Edwards
developed special technology for the project. Using a technique they've called reflective microetching, they microscopicall
y manipulated the
reflectivity
of the brain's surface. Different regions of the brain were hand painted and digitized, later using a computer program created by Edwards
to show the complex choreography our mind undergoes as it processes information.
