L'extraction de la Pierre de Folie / The Extraction of the Stone of Madness
Inscription entourant l'image : "Maître, enlève moi vite cette pierre, mon nom est lubbert Das"
Oeuvre de Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516)
1501-1505
Huile sur bois de chêne
l'original est à Madrid, au Musée national du Prado
Une copie est exposée à la Fondation Prada à Venise dans le cadre de l'exposition "Human Brains : It begins with an idea".
www.fondazioneprada.org/project/human-brains-it-begins-wi...
Dans l'exposition, cette oeuvre célèbre est commentée par l'écrivain français Hervé Le Tellier qui propose, comme certains universitaires néerlandais, un changement de perspective dans l'interprétation du tableau.
Habituellement, ce dernier est présenté comme l'illustration de la crédulité d'un riche marchand qui veut se faire extraire la pierre de la folie par un chirurgien qui est lui-même représenté comme fou avec un entonnoir sur la tête. Les deux acolytes du charlatan : un prêtre et une nonne ne sont là que pour convaincre le patient. On peut voir dans leur présence une critique de la religion qui tromperait les gens crédules et ne ferait pas confiance à la science symbolisée par un livre fermé sur la tête de la nonne. Les deux plantes : l'une sur la tête de l'opéré, l'autre sur la table sont assimilées à des bulbes de tulipe et à l'argent que coûte l'opération car la tulipe est à l'époque du tableau synonyme de richesse dans les Flandres. Cette interprétation est celle qui figure dans le catalogue du musée du Prado où est conservée l'oeuvre originale.
Un regard très différent est porté par Hervé Le Tellier sur ce tableau qui pourrait selon lui illustrer la volonté du marchand de devenir poète grace à l'implantation dans son cerveau d'un grain de folie symbolisé par les fleurs de nénuphar. En effet, au moment de la réalisation de l'oeuvre, la tulipe n'a pas encore fait son apparition dans les Flandres. Selon lui, le marchand aurait lu les classiques figurés par le livre fermé sur la tête de la nonne et estimerait que pour sortir de sa condition et devenir à son tour écrivain et poète, il devrait avoir ce grain de folie qui stimule l'imagination. Si originale soit-elle, cette interprétation n'explique pas pour autant le sens de l'inscription.
Ce tableau est l'un des trente deux sujets de réflexion de l'exposition "Human Brains" proposés par des écrivains, des historiens des sciences et des scientifiques. Ce parti pris des concepteurs de l'exposition produit de nombreux textes et discours (en italien et en anglais) qui la rendent très difficile à suivre et peu attractive malgré l'intérêt du thème général. Peu servie par une scénographie très sombre et volontairement labyrinthique, "Human Brains" est complétée par "The conversation machine" qui fait dialoguer sur plusieurs écrans des spécialistes et par des vidéos plus scientifiques présentées au rez-de-chaussée pour reviser les savoirs de base sur la physiologie du cerveau humain.
Tous ces efforts semblent vains pour vraiment intéresser le grand public aux thèmes traités et lui faire saisir les enjeux de la recherche sur le cerveau. La fondation Prada n'est pas un centre de culture scientifique mais un centre d'art, elle n'a pas l'expérience de la médiation dans ces domaines qui nécessitent beaucoup plus de dispositifs interactifs et de progressivité dans la diffusion des connaissances.

Eventually science will bring Cov Sars 2 to heel.
Prior to germ theory, immunology, molecular and cellular biology, atomic physics and many other scientific disciplines of the 20th century, combined with power of logic and thought and experiment, humanity has cowed many of the viruses, parasites, and bacteria that have plagued humans since the beginning of time. Where we havent eliminated or reduced their power against us, we can at least understand how they work, where they live, how to avoid them and treat the symptons of their disease.....The greatest gift to humanity has been the power of scientific thought. No power on earth has delivered so much to the human condition than our abilities to identify, understand and deal with the pathogens all around us. Yet as Carl Sagan warned and most other scientists echo, Science and scientists are relegated to the world of nerdom, geekdom, the mad scientist, liberal academic, egg head, socially awkward wierdo, Mr. Spock or Cmdr Data, etc...at our own peril. Healing crystals, prayer, quackery, unshakable belief, "gut feeling"...while some of these are surely important for a person's meaningfulness, these have not returned any real improvement in the human condition over thousands, and presumanly hundreds of thousands of years of hominid history. Arguably science has delivered its share of problems such as nuclear weapons, but in balance humanity has benefitted exponentially because of it. The same nuclear physics that led to the bomb also produced the electron micrscope that confirmed the existence of viruses around 1926.
As a society there is a trend of distrusting science and scientists. This is stoked daily by ignorants without an iota of scientific training or even the smallest speck of understanding...despite most them benefitting highly from science's bounty. Those with money usually benefit the most from science, while also espousing a medieval society. In the current outbreak of Covid19 it is notable that our wealthiest, and often our most conservative politicians are at the front of the queue getting tested, recieving the best medical care, paid for generously at taxpayer expense. The rest of us are told to wash hands, wear scarves and die off for the good of the economy. This un-Christianly sentiment I would think would make the Christ, I read about in the Bible weep. The Christ I was taught about, was by the thoughtful, beautiful, smart and sadly departed soul, Rev Paul Pearson. A materials engineer, trained in mathematical physics, who loved Theology and was drawn to be like Christ, and became a much lower paid minister, to spread the word and minister to all in need, no matter what their status in life. The "devout" and religous christians of my childhood church relieved him of his ministry there, because he was wasting the church's money ministering to anyone who wanted it rather than just our church's members at the local hospital. I myself do not feel there is a god or afterlife, I do hope so and I'm sure Mr. Pearson is there. However history on earth, for many things, but especially with respect to infectious disease and suffering, leads me to think god isn't there or is extremely cruel and sadistic to let people suffer with infectious disease. Alas Mr. Pearson knew science and its power, and knew that his role was to comfort the sick, perhaps with HIV, and remind them that it wasnt some punishment, but was a virus. And he believed Science would deliver, just like the Space Shuttle he worked on, delivered the Hubble Telescope to let us see the cosmos. In the late 2020 HIV is no longer a death sentence because of HIV1 protease inhibitors. But it didn't come easily, only under pressure from many gay activists who were told initially it was their wages of sin.
Anyway the amount of suffering pathogens have heaped on humanity is incalculable. As I pick my brain for examples I come up with a, certainly incomplete, list that is a disgusting murderer's row...TB, typhoid, yellow fever, malaria, leprosy, black plague, bubonic plague, cholera, ebola, small pox, measles, mumps, meningitis, hepatitis, helicobacter, scabies, fleas, lice, yeast infections, fungal infections, flu, rubella, diptheria, polio, staph, tetanus, roundworms, flat worms, hookworms, tapeworms, guineaworms, ecoli, salmonella, botulism, sleeping sickness, listeria, rotovirus, norovirus, pseudomonas, zika, dengue fever, conjunctivitis, syphilis, gonorrhea, hpv, HIV, leishmania, rabies, pneumonia, rotavirus, hantavirus, anthrax, SARS, MERS, pertussis, brucellosis, cryptosporidium, encephalitis, haemophilis influenza, herpes, histoplasmosis, lyme disease, pneumonic plague, srep rocky mountain spotted fever, shigella, trichomoniasis, trichinosis....and more but I cant think of them. And all the praying, and wishing them away, and quackery, has done nothing. Only the power of science has turned the tide, sometimes by highlighting simple truths like sanitizing our drinking water. Anyway Science will succeed again with Covid19, not at this point before it has claimed too many lives. Im afraid this horse has left the barn, due to the unconscionable incompetence of our federal govrrnment. As the death toll grinds on and scientists struggle to put a boot on this virus' neck hopefully we will fund our CDC and agencies and scientists...its unrealistic...but like we do basketball players or movie stars. After all what have they really done for humanity? And scientists will go back to underfunded labs, and bashing from ignorants who'd turn time back to the days when religous order killed witches and commited self flagellation to appease god, but never even slowed a plague.
Excellent upper view of the human brain. We can see here the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex divided by the longitudinal fissure. Both hemispheres are connected by the corupus callosum, and each of them is devoted to partly different mental functions. Left hemisphere is thought to be more rational, logical, analytical, and objective and handles normal speech. Beacuse it is more analytical it looks more at the parts. Right hemisphere handles things in a more random and subjective way. It appears to be responsible for more intuitive processes and looks more at wholes. So the dominance of one hemisphere over the other will define our way of thinking and interpreting the world.

This High Angular Resolution Diffusion Image (HARDI) of the human brain shows long distance connections, or tracts, grouped on the basis of their anatomical neighborhood. Wiring associated with particular brain structures share the same color. In diffusion imaging, the scanner detects movement of water inside neural fibers to reveal their locations. This image is based on first phase HCP data from the MGH/Harvard/UCLA Connectom scanner. Researchers hope to use the same technique to analyze data from a project related to the HCP’s second phase that will examine connections in teens with mental illness.

It’s one thing to detect sites in the genome associated with mental disorders; it’s quite another to discover the biological mechanisms by which these changes in DNA work in the human brain to boost risk. In their first concerted effort to tackle the latter, 15 collaborating research teams of the National Institutes of Health-funded PsychENCODE Consortium leveraged statistical power gained from a large sample of about 2000 postmortem human brains.

NIH-funded scientists found that our brains may be uniquely sensitive to pitch, the harmonic sounds we hear when listening to speech or music.
The study highlights the promise of Sound Health, a joint project between the NIH and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in association with the National Endowment for the Arts, that aims to understand the role of music in health.

controlled thoughts
Please don't yell at me for not uploading all the time or not starting a project like I've been meaning to! The dragging winter leaves me with little or no inspiration, and when I have some, it's either too cold, too late, or I'm busy. And we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow! Bleh. I'm so over winter. Anyways, this is more of an upload to show I'm still alive. I'll catch you up on my boring life:
*I bought my shoes for prom.
*I found out I have two proms on the SAME NIGHT.
*I got my sponsor certificate today at church so I can be my brother's confirmation sponsor.
*Thursday I'm skipping school and going to NYC with my cousin, who I haven't seen in over a year!
*I bought a new battery for my camera remote so I can continue shooting.
*Five people ordered hockey books of their children, who won the state tournament two weeks ago!
*Spring hockey starts soon!
This photo is literally my backdrop and a picture frame. I had a concept, but I didn't use it because the pictures turned out horrid. I missed my remote!
I think that's it! I promise I'll upload a ton more after this cold winter ends.
Oh, and the photo I "traced" came from here!

Scientists at NIH used electrical recordings to study how the human brain remembers. In a pair of studies, scientists at the National Institutes of Health explored how the human brain stores and retrieves memories. One study suggests that the brain etches each memory into unique firing patterns of individual neurons. Meanwhile, the second study suggests that the brain replays memories faster than they are stored.

Here is a description of the piece by the artist, Davanee of Ontonagon Michigan:
I titled my poster "Blurred." I decided to create an image about anxiety because I have been struggling with it in my senior year. The title "Blurred" describes the part of the brain that is infected with anxiety.
When I have anxiety, I can't focus on anything. It is as if my brain is "blurred." That is also why I chose to use color black. It overtakes the natural bright pink color of the brain, like anxiety takes over my natural thoughts.

Some facts:
- the human brain on average about 1.3 kilograms.
- an elephant's brain is five times biger than a human brain.
- however, the elephant brain is only 0.2% of its body weight compared to the human brain, which is 2.3% of body weight.
- the human brain consumes 20% of energy consumption at rest. It's the champion in fuel consumption (of oxygen & glucose) compared to all other organs of the body.
- the human brain processes electromagnetic wave 400 to 700 nanometres captured by the eyes as vision, i.e. as what you have "seen".

One slice of human brain. Only 7 more, and I've got a whole set!
It's a medical preparation, encased in lucite, from Kilgore international, dated to somewhere in the 1970s-80s.
It's really interesting to me how distinct the demarcation between grey, and white matter is, and how deeply the folds extend into the brain.
