 Ione, Amy. Art and the Brain: Plasticity, Embodiment, and the Unclosed Circle (Consciousness, Literature and the Arts). Rodopi Bv Editions, 2016. ISBN: 9789004322981.
Ione offers a profound assessment of our ever-evolving view of the biological brain as it pertains to embodied human experience. Chapter content overviews (with illustrations) Dr. Frank W. Stahnisch, a historian of medicine and neuroscience, reviewed Art and the Brain: Plasticity, Embodiment, and the Unclosed Circle (Brill, 2016) in a 2017 issue for the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences. He wrote: The book …includes stimulating considerations about individual perspectives on human memory and the imagination, as these originated from modern neurological representations in cortical physiology, experimental psychology, and evolutionary perspectives on brain development. The strength of “Art and the Brain” certainly lies in intriguing theoretical discussions of framing structures and visual foundations through the deep historical contexts of the neurosciences. Furthermore, Ione’s personal experiences as an active artist offer many reinterpretations of the artistic principles at work during different historical neurological media representations within the multilayered discussions presented in this volume.

The first in detail account that relates the development of visual images to innovations in art, communication, scientific research, and technological advance. In a 2005 review of Innovation and Visualization: Trajectories, Strategies, and Myths, John Danvers wrote: “It is this kind of historical insight and connectivity which makes Innovation and Visualization such a stimulating text to read. With its combination of scholarship and lucidity, fascinating information and provocative argument, this lively and intelligent book will be welcomed by the academic community and by many general readers, who will enjoy Ione’s eloquent cross-fertilisation of ideas and her healthy disregard for disciplinary boundaries.” [Full review here] |
