In practice, successful science is often conducted loosely, nonlinearly, and with an occasional breaking of the rules. Every stage of the process requires creativity and passion, with the need to connect seemingly disparate ideas. This has much in common with what we might call the \"artistic method.\" Neuroscientist and painter Bevil Conway speaks about the relationship between science and art. Original Program Date: June 3, 2010 BEVIL CONWAY Neuroscientist, Artist Bevil Conway, originally from Zimbabwe, is an artist and neuroscientist who researches the neural basis for visual behavior, with a focus on color vision, and investigates the relationship between visual processing and visual art. His artwork is held in numerous private collections and the Fogg Museum and has been published in several books, including as the frontispiece for Brain and Visual Perception, the landmark work by Nobel Laureates David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel. Conway, who writes and lectures widely on the intersection between neuroscience and art, is the author of Neural Mechanisms of Color Vision. He is the Knafel Assistant Professor of Natural Science and Neuroscience at Wellesley College, and his research laboratory is located at Wellesley College and the Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School. His art studio is in Cambridge, Mass. The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
