Abstract

Advances in understanding the brain can be traced through representations of it over the centuries. Not only have techniques of anatomy and physiology developed apace but the ways in which the images are presented have also advanced. The engravings of the sixteenth century have been supplanted by computer-generated images in the present one. The eye and hand of the artist has been replaced by the skill of the programmer and the resolution of the computer screen. This history is represented by ‘perceptual portraits’: images of the structure and function of brain from the time of Vesalius are combined with portraits of those who have studied them.
