Week 7 - Neuroscience + Art

Aristotle, the father of psychology, had believed that the brain was merely an organ built to cool down the blood in the heart and lungs. With developed technology, science can now confirm with microscopes and electricity that the brain is the conductor of thought and emotion. In a lot of literary works and art, the heart seems to always be romanticized as the driver of human passion while the mind is always portrayed as the rational counterpart. Artists and even scientists have challenged this notion through beautiful depictions of neuroscience. Split Santiago Ramon y Cajal is considered to be the father of modern neuroscience, as he has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in medicine and physiology. However, according the Vesna's lecture, he referred to neurons as "mysterious butterflies of the souls" and their dendrites as the wings. He obtained his artistic fulfillment within science, as he spent hours drawing natural scenes that would be later used in textboo

Week 1 - Two Cultures

Reflective of John Brockman's views of the "third culture" to be contemporary scientists, the field of computer s cience stands to be substantial evidence to his beliefs. With such a broad range of study, from artificial intelligence to web design, I in no way feel as if I'm only part of either the "scientist" or the "artist" side of the supposed separation when majoring in Linguistics and Computer Science. As an enthusiastic designer, I love taking care in integrating the proper aesthetics through front end web development. In my free time, I also enjoy mindless doodling or even some recreational reading. I'm also especially interested in studying the natural language processing area of CS, a discipline that uses linguistics to analyze and appropriate human languages for a variety of purposes, as researcher Chowdhury explains. My interests might seem to be a little abnormal for a "STEM" major, but these disciplines, in reality,

Week 4 - Medicine + Technology + Art

As an artist, an understanding of anatomy is a necessity for realistic human illustrations. I frequently use anatomical references myself for guidance whenever I'm drawing people. In Vesna's lecture videos, she explains that the dissection of the human body during the Renaissance helped both artists understand anatomy for their drawings and scientists document the findings for medical purposes. She jokingly attests that every artist that works with the body has Henry Gray's Anatomy  on their book shelf, despite it being written for the medical community. However, this confidence and knowledge of human body is leading technology towards bodily modifications that step outside of plastic surgery. Female Anatomy Reference - condensed version by ReneeViolet Professor Kevin Warwick at the University of Reading is experimenting with the concept of cyborgs - a human fused with computer parts. He underwent surgery to install a silicon chip in his forearm. This allows his com
