The human brain has so many links between cells, they cannot possibly be displayed in one image. Yet two scientists have given it a try. Titled, like a piece of art, as “Self Reflected”, this 2.5 x 3.5
metre steel plate etching shows the links between brain cells as microscopic grooves. The tiniest change in viewer's perspective will make the grooves reflect light from specific angles, and under a spotlight, the nerve links take turns to appear, giving a sense of how signals travel through the brain.
