The authors describe Mindscape, an artwork in the form of an audiovisual installation. The work visualizes complex brain activity, attempting to bridge the distance between scientific imagery and artistic representations. Starting with images and data drawn from nerve cell activity, artist Sol Sneltvedt and neuroscientist Michael O'Shea collaborate to create a visualization of the unlimited scale of human thought.
