Neuroscience and the Arts
Art and neuroscience share a fascination with the human mind. We promote collaborations between artists and neuroscientists to yield new insights into how the mind and brain work.
The Henry Wellcome Building for Neuroecology, at the core of the Institute, houses works by Katharine Dowson and other artists. Other artists we have worked with include:
- Daniel Sturgis
- Brad Lochore
- Naomi James
- Angela Palmer
- Royden Astrop
- Jonathan Kingdon
Most recently, artist Susan Aldworth and neuroscientist Fiona LeBeau made new connections by observing how nerve cells network. For more information see Brain Awareness Week 2008.
