THE NEURO FRONTIER

 

What if the universe exists inside of a giant brain?

When scientists connect galaxies in deep space, the cosmic web that forms is the same geometric pattern that forms when you connect the neurons inside of the human brain.

Each of us have a three-pound universe within us. Here sits our most powerful technology: the imagination. A mighty engine of innovation where new worlds are born.

Traditional engines use a mixture of fuel and air that combusts in a confined space. Your imagination is fueled by stories. The confined space is your subconscious mind. And the ignition? Well that's the light bulb moment we all love.

The default mode network (DMN) is the series of brain regions responsible for imagination. The DMN is activated during moments of rest, such as meditation, play, daydreaming, creating art, or mind wandering.

In today's fast-paced digital world, our freedom to imagine is increasingly being diminished. This immersive exhibit invites you to discover what sparks your imagination so you can drive into the future.
