NeuroScience + Art Blog

Image
The relationship between neuroscience and art seems to be very similar to me as medical technology and art, which I did a blog post about a few weeks ago. The topic of neuroscience, however, is especially interesting for me because I am currently in a course called “Philosophy of the MInd” this quarter.  I found it interesting to learn of topics such as consciousness, unconsciousness, and how drugs affect the way neuroscientists and artists have learned about the brain and the way it functions for us humans. (Image: Japanese-styled art inspired by neuroscience) Introduced in the first lecture video, Professor Vesna talks of the concept of consciousness, how it was founded, and the things associated with consciousness.  Consciousness is simple the state of being conscious, or I like to think it basically just means being aware that you are alive and functioning. Consciousness was rooted by great scientists, such as Franz Joseph Gall, Pierre Paul Broca, and Santiago Ramón y Ca

MedTech + Art

Listening and reading of the different medical technologies and procedures I am familiar with hearing about on a daily basis, I was quite surprised to learn there is an artistic perspective behind the medical field.  For instance, dissection is one that is no stranger to the arts because both medicine and art are important for one another when viewing anatomy.  As stated by Professor Vesna, the Renaissance period was when art became most important for dissection.   (Image: Wikipedia/Anatomy) Artists could depict what was discovered through dissection by doctors or anatomists. According to Peter Tyson’s, “The Hippocratic Oath Today”, he mentions how the Hippocratic Oath states that doctors must “teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation”.  It is evident through the artwork of dissection and anatomy research that the next generation is learning from past discoveries about the body to further advance research of the body. The best example of this passing on of rese

Unit 1 Assignment

Madilyn Nickles Desma9 Week 1 Blog Assignment In the article, “Toward a Third Culture: Being in between” by Victoria Vesna, the author discusses how the backgrounds of literary/philosophical studies and scientific concepts should be joined in a way to develop a stronger way of thinking for research about things humanity does not know.  The article gives a more opinionated and researched perspective about the topic of “two cultures”.  However, in the article, “The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution” by C. P. Snow comes from a more personal perspective of the concept of “two cultures” in that the author discusses his personal life of being involved in the scientific research at Cambridge University, but being equally involved with friends who focused on literary.  The author discusses, much similarly to the first article, of how the gap between both the literary culture and scientific culture must be shortened or be rid of in order for our future intelligence to thrive.
