- The brain controls all human actions and decisions, from mundane activities to complex creative projects.
- Dr. Karen Norberg spent nine months knitting an anatomically correct replica of the human brain, inspired by the resemblance of knitting ruffles to the cerebral cortex.
- The project was driven by her brain's decision-making processes and appealed to her sense of humor due to its absurd complexity.
- The knitted brain includes detailed structures like two hemispheres joined by a zipper and a robust corpus callosum, indicating it as female.
- Dr. Norberg's work highlights the brain's role in creativity and persistence, even in seemingly ridiculous endeavors.
