January in the Frontal Lobe
2016. 13" x 16". Data from the Seung Lab, MIT. Digital drawing/GIF.
This piece is a series of digital drawings that represent the plastic processes of learning and memory - a month in the life of the brain. Colors standing in for content, the morphologies of the neurons vary slightly as connections are reinforced or weaken. Some colors take over for a few 'days' or frames at a time, acting as a thought which you cannot shake. Some elements largely remain the same, acting as the bedrock of the self.
