AN exhibition of art and science exploring how perceptions affect gestures, balance and movement will go on display this week at the University of Dundee’s LifeSpace Gallery.
‘Trajectories’, LifeSpace’s first exhibition of 2018, will see work by artists Charles Robert Harrison, Charlie Murphy and Studio Senses featured alongside research on dementia b scientists at University College London.
Objects from the University of Dundee’s collections and research by Dr Esther Sammler, a consultant neurologist at Ninewells Hospital and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University, will add further information.
Curator Dr Sarah Cook said: “Artists are skilled in considering how we perceive the world around us and some of the work presented in this exhibition has come directly from research into neural processes that control human movement and balance.
"The exhibition suggests how visual art work can contribute to scientific research.”
