From the first time that I painted, I had no interest to be a derivative of other artists. My driving intuition was to be influenced nonconsciously by brain insights. My privileged view of the brain, is of overseeing the data patterns of human brain function in the world’s largest brain database. My art is mainly abstract expressionism that reflects my understanding of how the human brain and behavior works. Each series of paintings continue for a few months and are driven by a different inspiration from the nonconscious-conscious dynamics of my brain. The last series in this book: “Unbridled” – is where my nonconscious brain most dominated whatever spontaneously emerged (with no preconceptions) ‘in the moment’, in each painting. I am indebted to the wide influences from my background in brain science, medicine and the international brain database that I set up. As well as the feedback and inspirations from true friends (and attendees at my exhibitions, including 2 exhibitions in New York).

Most brain related activity has focussed on specialized interests within individual disciplines. Recent multidisciplinary activity has provided the impetus to break down these boundaries and encourage a freer exchange of information across disciplines. This text reflects these developments. It spans the landscape of brain science to provide core information from 12 disciplines (including evolution, philosophy, anatomy, chemistry, computer science, brain dynamics, psychology, neurology, psychiatry, psychotherapy and brain imaging). In outlining how and why it is now possible to realistically model aspects of the brain's dynamics from such a wide range of intellectual endeavors, this book will prove itself useful to undergraduates, postgraduates and all those seeking a contemporary perspective and evaluation of the current status and future directions in the brain sciences.

Eat for your mental health and learn the fascinating science behind nutrition with this "must-read" guide from an expert psychiatrist (Amy Myers, MD).
