2018 Art of Neuroscience Exhibitors
Booth #1
Lia Cook - www.liacook.com
Description of Artwork:
My current practice explores the sensuality of the woven image and the embodied emotional connection to memories of touch and cloth. Visualization of data collected from behavioral studies conducted within an exhibition is woven back into the work. I have used DSI (Diffusion Spectrum Imaging of the brain) and TrackVis software to look at the structural neural connections between parts of the brain and integrate these “fiber tracts” with the actual fiber connections that make up the woven translation of a face.
Booth #2
