“Wiggle your brains”: beautiful visualization of the processes that occur in our brain every day (14 photos)

Neuroscientist Greg Dunn and physicist Brian Edwards decided to prove that science and creativity are very compatible. They showed a very beautiful visualization of the processes that occur in our brain every day. This is a series of pictures of fragments of the human brain while they are busy processing information or performing their functions. It looks really very cool.

Parietal gyrus





The area of the brain where information about movement and what we see are connected.

Cerebellum



Responsible for coordination and our sense of ourselves in space.

Motor and parietal cortex

These areas are responsible for our sensations. They also control the movements of the eyes, head and hands.

Brain stem and cerebellum



Responsible for basic body functions and body movement.

Pons



Transmits information from the spinal cord to parts of the brain.

Parietal lobe sulcus



Visual cortex



This is how we process visual information.

Thalamus and basal ganglia



Responsible for feelings and decision making.

Basal ganglia



Responsible for motor skills, movement and decision making.

Midbrain



Responsible for eye movement, hearing, attention, various reflexes and reactions to stimuli.
