When Art Meets Neuroscience

This project has been exhibited at ARTECHOUSE
and is now part of the permanent collection at NYAS.

Neural Harmony aim to use artistic and visual representation to interpret György Buzsáki's research on the concept of neural syntax.

The project seeks to translate complex neural mechanisms and syntactic structures in the brain into engaging visual and interactive art, enhancing public understanding of neuroscience.

What is Neural Syntax?

Neural syntax refers to the study of how the brain processes and structures language, focusing on the neurological mechanisms that enable the comprehension and production of syntactic structures in speech and writing. It combines insights from linguistics, neuroscience, and cognitive science to understand how neural circuits in the brain encode grammatical rules and how these rules are applied during language use.

Researchers in this field investigate how different regions of the brain contribute to syntactic processing and how disruptions in these areas can affect language abilities.
