A tropical-coloured map of human thoughts. Imaging by John Harrell on 2016-06-24.

The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a project to construct a map of the complete structural and functional neural connections in vivo within and across individuals. The HCP represents the first large-scale attempt to collect and share data of a scope and detail sufficient to begin the process of addressing deeply fundamental questions about human connectional anatomy and variation.

The mapping of the human connectome offers a unique opportunity to understand the complete details of neural connectivity (Sporns et al., 2005, Wedeen et al., 2008, Hagmann et al., 2007).

Sylvia Plath and the Concrete Jungle.

 

Pain, Parties, Work – Elizabeth Winder

New York, 1953. Glamour, fashion, scandal and all of it true.

The book accounts the platinum summer of Sylvia Plath during her guest editorship of Mademoiselle Magazine.  A rich collage retold by colleagues and friends, along with insights from her personal diaries, provide an insightful milieu into the world that would fuel her ‘Bell Jar’ opus in the years after. For those who sympathize with the disquiet of a creative mind – Pain, Parties, Work is a tribute to candles that burn bright and one of those rare reads that leaves an impression long after you’ve put it down.
