Self Reflected - Illuminating the Brain Through Art and Science

Call To Brain — May 2019

Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) created Self Reflected to elucidate the nature of human consciousness.

Bridging the connection between the mysterious three pound macroscopic brain and the microscopic behavior of neurons. "Self Reflected" offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through a technique called reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art.

"Self Reflected" was created to remind us that the most marvelous machine in the known universe is at the core of our being and is the root of our shared humanity.
