Spectacular Visualizations of Brain Scans Enhanced with 1,750 Pieces of Gold Leaf

 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.

An astounding 

achievement in

 scientific art,

 the artists applied

 1,750 leaves of 

gold to the final microetchings.
