“The ratchet of evolution”

Mathew den Boer


Brain #: 380

Agreement is an exploration of how the brain and the world process one-another. The ratchet of evolution has shaped the brain to parse the universe, so the structure of the universe is in some ways physically encoded in the workings of the brain. The hemispheres deal with input differently, and their interplay shapes conscious experience. A pattern stretches across the surface of the model brain, finding a dominant angular or curved expression in the left and right hemispheres respectively. The pattern is continuous in some ways, but not symmetrical. There is agreement between the two sides, but not sameness.
