Beyond Text: Visual Perception in Arts and Neuroscience

As part of the Beyond Text programme, a neuroscientist and an artist collaborate to create a collection of art pieces which demonstrate some of the principles of neuroscience.

Yet the artist needs to create something beautiful and the neuroscientist needs to demonstrate what is happening in the brain as the eyes try to make sense of the image.

Prof. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga (neuroscientist at Leicester University) and Mariano Molina (visual artist) tell Nicola Barranger about their unique collaboration to produce a series of canvases which will demonstrate these principles and which are being displayed in an exhibition in Leicester.
