[Enclosed inside the handwritten letter is a crudely made rainbow pin. Along the rim is a microetched defensive charm, which is, unfortunately faulty. The letter is unreadable, it is in Doctor Handwriting.]

Thank you, uh, Lorpin...Squiggle? Yeah, I can't read this. But still, thank you so much!

Hey, Ambrose, can I get you down here at the Outreach Booth to check out a potential thaumohazard? And can you bring me two corn dogs?

After a year's work here it is, the new piece Spinal Cord!

The spinal cord is the information superhighway connecting our brains to our bodies, an indispensible organ and masterpiece of evolution as fundamental to our existence as our brains themselves.

It is available as:

1. Fine Art Prints (pictured here)

2. Microetched Prints (I'll post more about these soon, these animate the neural activity of this region)

3. Gold Microetchings (also have reflective animations, highest end option)

This image was made entirely from scratch, deeply informed by the neuroscientific literature and my background in neuroscience and designed to be an attractive piece of fine art as well as an accurate atlas of both anatomy and connectivity. It is the most ambitious project that I’ve undertaken since the creation of Self Reflected.

This artwork and associated images, GIFs, and video are designed to give the viewer a comprehensive understanding of the complex anatomical details of this region and how information travels through the cord. In particular, I wanted to emphasize the complexity of the transverse white matter regions and how signals travel into and out of these areas. Information travels through the afferent inputs in the dorsal ganglia, is processed in the butterfly shaped gray matter regions in the central cord, and through computations with interneurons and afferent/efferent signals from adjacent regions of the transverse white matter tracts leads to signal outputs through the ventral cord that execute movements.

This could be enough for me or you today, place your hand on another and melt it on, every square millimeter of your hand relishing contact, fingers as hoses of energy, filling the room with the other, and the horizon.

Image: Yoga and Meditation Art - Pranayama Microetched

by Greg Dunn

Pranayama is an exploration of the internal state during spiritual practices, a piece of meditation and yoga art celebrating yogic breathing exercises called pranayama.

What Inspired the Yoga and Meditation Art of Pranayama

Pranayama is a bit of a departure from my more directly anatomical work on the nervous system, one that explores alternative ways of interpreting the mind and brain. It is directly inspired by my practice of meditation and experiences inside my sensory deprivation tank. In particular, it is a map of the perceptions felt after years of practice of pranayama (breathing exercises) in meditation. Those most often interested in this type of meditation and yoga art are those who practice the various methods of training the mind- meditation, yoga, pranayama, and other related disciplines.

The technique is called “reflective microetching”.

ARTIST RESEARCH Dr. Greg Dunn

He uses his knowledge of neuroscience to create works of fine art that celebrate the brain. Dr. Dunn’s paintings and reflective microetchings deeply fuse art and science, attempting to illuminate the unfathomable complexities of our minds. Dunn’s art includes ink paintings on gold leaf exploring the spontaneous branching of a handful of pyramidal neurons to incredibly intricate, large scale reflective etchings such as Self Reflected that animate the collective activity of half a million neurons at once. In prints, paintings, hanging scrolls, and etchings, Dunn’s works bridge the micro to the macro to change the way in which the average person thinks about the brain. It hopes to reinstill the sense of awe, even to those of us who struggle with various neurological ailments, and to hopefully remind us that our brains are a thing of wonder. Harvard Referencing:

Self Reflected

Reflective microetching used to simulate a human brain.

“Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) created Self Reflected to elucidate the nature of human consciousness, bridging the connection between the mysterious three pound macroscopic brain and the microscopic behavior of neurons. Self Reflected offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through a technique called reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art. Self Reflected was created to remind us that the most marvelous machine in the known universe is at the core of our being and is the root of our shared humanity.“

Could have the key microetched in a coin or something, small enough that only an AMF or SEM or the like could visualize it. And that's already fitting to the genre! "Ancient artifact reveals secret under modern technological analysis". Could have that be a bait and switch, instead of giving you a key it gives you machine instructions for some long-dead processor, but one that modern emulators don't emulate perfectly, whereas this program takes advantage of some niche instructions, leading to a mad dash to track down the one of the last remaining physical units that works.

Functionally a thumb drive full of bitcoins bought in 2010 could fill basically the same plot function a briefcase full of bearer bonds or unmarked bills used to before the government started caring about money laundering, but in practice I don't think I've ever really seen a story where they do.

Self Reflected, by Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist), 22K gold leaf handmade gilded micro etching, a slice of the human brain at 22X scale. “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 Dr. Greg Dunn and his colleague Dr. Brian Edwards 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.” (http://www.gregadunn.com/)
