Artist and neurologist Greg Dunn creates neuroscience-inspired art that mimics the firing of the human brain.
Taking nearly two years to complete, artist and neuroscientist Dr. Greg Dunn, along with his collaborator Dr. Brian Edwards, have mapped the neurons in the brain for a series of images titled Self Reflected. Produced through a technique they call reflective microetching, the two cross-disciplinary artists track the neural choreography in the mind, creating brilliant images that glow with a metallic luminescence. The works depict a thin slice of the human brain at 22x the normal scale, each created through a combination of hand drawing, neuroscientific data, algorithmic simulation of neural circuitry, photolithography, strategic lighting design, and 1,750 sheets of 22k gold leaf.

Name: Greg Dunn Which came first in your life, the science or the art? I don’t really think it’s possible to say, seeing as how both …
Microetchings are handmade lithographs that manipulate light on a microscopic scale to control the reflectivity of metallic surfaces in precise ways. These techniques were invented by Greg Dunn, PhD and his colleague Brian Edwards, PhD in order to change the way in which the viewer experiences a painting. Please note that these microetchings are designed to evolve based on the moving perspective of the viewer and are impossible to capture in still images. The pricing of all handmade gold microetchings start at $16 000.
Light reflecting off of the microetched print's millions of microscopic mirrors animates the breath of the meditating figure and the movement of prana, the subtle sensations of energy that become pronounced through practice.

The images were painted by neuroscientist Greg Dunn from the University of Pennsylvania, in the Asian sumi-e style. A crab's stomatogastric ganglion, that controls its digestion is pictured.
Neuroscientist-turned-artist Greg Dunn created these amazing images by turning information about how the brain processes information into etched pieces of art
As a neuroscience Ph.D. student, Greg Dunn was inspired by the spare beauty of neurons treated with certain stains. What he saw under the microscope reminded him of the uncluttered elegance of bamboo scroll paintings and other forms of Asian art, and he now paints neurons in a similar style.

His work may look like it’s made from Lucite, gold leaf, or even silk, but grad student Greg Dunn actually makes screen prints of his favorite subject: neurons. Dunn studies neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, and a series of his…
