In "Cognition, Electrodes, Soul", an interview for Studio360 (11-23-02), neurosurgeon Aryeh Lev Stollman said: ". . . I actually believe that the way we see our world, the way we encounter it, the way we experience it, and the way we remember it--the way our memories are formed--is really a reflection of our brain anatomy, and the way I look at it, is the brain, in development, it folds upon itself, it becomes very layered, and it becomes woven, it's a woven structure . . . and not only our memories are woven, but what we create is woven, our literature is woven, our art is woven . . . " Many metaphors have been used to describe the brain, recently including the brain as microprocessor, computer or a vast set of HTML documents. But the metaphor of the "woven brain" is, in many ways, just as apt. The brain scans shown here reflect that concept. Six are now complete, with an additional brain shown jacked-in with electronics. More brain scans are on the way.
