The museum exhibits the world's largest collection of anatomically correct fabric brain art, inspired by research from neuroscience, dissection and neuroeconomics. Our current exhibition features three quilts with functional images from PET and fMRI scanning, a knitted brain, and two fabric pieces interpreting single neuron recording.
The artists are Marjorie Taylor , Karen Norberg, and Patricia Jauch.
Techniques used include quilting, applique, embroidery, beadwork, knitting, and crotcheting. Materials include fabric, yarn, metallic threads, electronic components such as magnetic core memory, wire, zippers, and beads.
