Act of remembering, artwork

Act of remembering. Artwork representing how an object seen by the eyes is remembered by the brain. The object here (a red coffee mug) is shown in the brain at right. Various brain disorders, such as strokes, can disrupt memory circuits, as represented by the broken coffee mug. The brain also has circuits that help distinguish between memories, fantasies and planning future actions. This accounts for the deja vu sensation that something seems familiar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Act of Remembering" beautifully illustrates the intricate connection between our eyes and brain when it comes to memory. The print showcases a red coffee mug, symbolizing an object that is seen by the eyes and subsequently remembered by the brain. Positioned on the right side of the image, we witness how this mug is stored within our mind. However, this thought-provoking piece also sheds light on how various brain disorders can disrupt these memory circuits. Represented by a broken coffee mug in the artwork, conditions like strokes can impair our ability to recall certain memories accurately. Furthermore, the illustration highlights that our brains possess circuits dedicated to distinguishing between memories, fantasies, and planning future actions. This phenomenon explains why we sometimes experience déjà vu - that uncanny feeling of familiarity with something we have never encountered before. Created in a cartoon-like style featuring a male figure against a white background, this artwork delves into both biology and psychology realms. It serves as a visual reminder of how crucial memory is to human existence while emphasizing its vulnerability under certain circumstances. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured these complex concepts through their unique mental imagery represented in this print.
