The Museum Of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art

The Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art has the world's largest collection of anatomically correct fabric brain art. Inspired by research from neuroscience, dissection and neuroeconomics, the current exhibition features three quilts with functional images from PET and MRI 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 crocheting. Materials include fabric, yarn, metallic threads, electronic components such as magnetic core memory, and wire, zippers, and beads.
