Abstract

Neuroscience research affects individuals in diverse and profound ways, not only in the many laboratories and imaging facilities worldwide but also far beyond them. Often, these experiences inspire creative expression, leading to powerful artworks with beautiful and thought-provoking stories to tell or ideas to reflect on. Since 2011, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience-an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW)-has hosted an international art competition to showcase artworks inspired by neuroscience. Everyone from scientists to professional artists to individuals with a neuroscience encounter in their daily lives can submit their work. The independent jury selects a winner for the competition and several honorable mentions. In the 14th edition of "Art of Neuroscience" (AON), we had submissions from six continents in a wide range of artistic forms: painting, drawing, sculpture, dance, video, and applied arts, to name a few. Here, we celebrate the artworks submitted in this edition and congratulate the winners and honorable mentions while sharing stories that inspired their work. Below, you will find the work and stories as told by the artists. With each artwork, we include commentary from the jury detailing their impressions. Without further delay, we present the winners and honorable mentions from the 14th edition of AON.
