Self Reflected Under White, Red, and Violet Light (IMAGE)
Caption
One of 10 awardees from the 2017 Vizzies challenge, 'Self Reflected' is described as 'the world's most elaborate artistic depiction of the human brain, revealing insight into the complexity of consciousness by combining art and science to revolutionize the way in which we think about the brain'" It fuses neuroscience data, hand drawings, algorithmic manipulation, optical engineering, photolithography and gilding to etch half a million neurons into large sheets of gold. The artists invented this technique, called reflective 'microetching,' to introduce visualizations of the brain never seen before.
