I’m exhilarated to be affiliated with  Labaratory of Center for cognitive neuroscience at Duke University for the following 4 months.Led by Dr.Kevin Labar, research in this laboratory focuses on understanding how emotional events modulate cognitive processes in the human brain. One step closer to demystifying the relationship between emotion and affect.

Stay tuned.

Charles Avery is a british artist whose talent and interests I find highly compelling. In a way Avery’s work is awkwardly familiar to me, and I wasn’t surprised at all when I read that he had been working on depicting  his imaginary island for over 10 yrs . Imaginary species, imaginary geographies, imaginary interactions …. that first elevate you +100 meters up only  drop you right back to the very obvious.

Ok, here’s a piece by him depicting a “brainless fight”

Another sculptural piece titled “one armed snake” :

After spending a few months on an installation project about the HOX gene (controls lots of things including limb formation) this image becomes 10x more meaningful to me.  (http://artsci.ucla.edu/hox ) .

a few notable things from this video:

1.According to Ramachandran it takes approximately  5 to 10 min to kill a polar bear, to skin it and make a jacket out of it.

2.Mirror neurons fire when you see people touching things ,yet feedback coming from your skin prevents you from literally feeling that touch sensation. People whose limbs are paralyzed can experience this sensation , that is  , having skin armed with receptors set a emphatical barrier btw you and other human beings,  and you can dissolve this barrier of skin by removing it.

3.There’s no real independent self aloof from other human beings , we’re all connected via mirror neurons . Eastern philosophy proven by neuroscience.

4. Figurative representational images (and motion images ) that involves human haptic encounter with other humans and things sell thanks to mirror neurons

Vein vessel is a hand-painted reference to where milk comes from ( and consecutively where it goes to)…  vein vessel is a tribute to mammalian gland , it is a quick fix to industrially broken link between two mammalian bodies… but of course, like many other hollow utensils Vein Vessel could be filled with wine as well…:)
