Anatomically accurate brain model woven with wool

It is said that it is a cold season, and I think whether the hobbyists are knitting various things such as gloves and hats, but while changing direction a little bitbrainThere seem to be someone knitting.

Details are below.

It is famous for producing many winners of the Nobel Prize in EconomicsNational Institute of Economic ResearchMr. Karen Noberg, a psychiatrist, has been braiding this yarn's brain over almost a year. It is about 1.5 inches in size of the actual brain and about 9 inches (about 23 cm) in total length. We first braided from small parts such as brain stem and cerebellum, sewed them together and made the whole structure. It seems that the process of braiding using yarns and the process of actual brain growth are very similar, so it was said that the wavy structure on the surface of the brain could be expressed well.

The bundle of white wool extending from the back is the spinal cord


Compared to the image of MRI, it looks exactly the same


Works with Karen


When I showed this work to my colleagues, it became very reputable and it was decided to be exhibited at the Boston Science Museum. Karen commented, "I wanted to figure out what would happen if I knit a mysterious and complex thing like a brain using beautiful and cute materials like yarns."
