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 a rug based on fMRI imaging, a knitted brain from dissection, and three quilts with functional images from PET.
The artists are Marjorie Taylor and Karen Norberg. Techniques used include traditional Nova Scotian rug hooking, 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.
