14 photos of the work of the brain, which show what it looks like what happens in our head (15 photos)

Our brain, being an incredibly complex system, performs many processes every second.





Someone thinks that creativity and science are not compatible, but neuroscientist Greg Dunn and physicist Brian Edwards agree. Together, scientists have created "the most fundamental self-portrait ever made", showing a very beautiful visualization of the processes that occur in our brain every day. This is a series of shots of fragments of the human brain while they are busy. processing information or performing their functions. In progress parts of the brain were painted by hand with the active use of leaf gold.

Our brain, being an incredibly complex system, each per second performs many processes. If fragments of our brains working hours were highlighted in the same way as in the works of Greg Dunn and Brian Edwards, just imagine how bright and colorful disco would be going on in the head of each of us.

Parietal gyrus



The area of the brain where information about movement and what we see connects.

Cerebellum





Responsible for coordination and our sense of being in space.

Motor and parietal cortex



These areas are responsible for our sensations. They also control the movements of the eyes, head and hands.

Brain stem and cerebellum



Responsible for the basic functions of the body and the movement of the body.

Pons



It transmits information from the spinal cord to the parts of the brain.

Groove of the parietal lobe of the brain



visual cortex



The way we process visual information.

thalamus and basal ganglia



Responsible for feelings and decision making.

Basal ganglia



Responsible for motor skills, movement and decision making.

midbrain



Responsible for eye movement, hearing, attention, various reflexes and reactions to stimuli.
