🤔Where does #neuropsychology belong when symptoms don’t fit #neurology or #psychiatry?
Dr. Nigel Lyttle explores this space through work with #FND and other complex cases.

Ohaay, it’s the lady who hosts that Ologies podcast and finally got back into her Bsky account.

Alie Ward here, excited to see so many science friends in one place. Add me/say hi so I can gently creep on your work.

I wear this yellow sweater too much.
Alie sitting at a wooden table with her body shoved into a curve of it. She is facing forward with arms like a Sphinx statue and wearing a golden yellow sweater with a neutral expression.

In the studio, combining painting, photography & experimenting with cyanotype & encaustic wax - going all in on heat, texture & light - always looking for happy accidents.

Finally getting in some studio time & experimenting with totally new #altprocess #photography before I scale up.

💭What name should I give to my new half skull sidekick 💀?

#art #artprocess #artyear #artshare
A photograph of an art process involving chemicals affecting a photographic image, the photographic image is an abstract portrait of a woman at a 45 Degree angle gazing off into the distance with a wistful expression on her face. Several layers of chemicals are creating multiple patterns, shapes and textures design to impact the aesthetic and mood of the final image. An overview of an artist's workstation within a studio. On the left is a sculpture of a skull with its head split open, being used as a paintbrush stand - a morbidly humorous Memento Mori - In the centre is a pack of photographs labeled "Testers" and the date 03/25 March 2025. On the right is a pair of black safety gloves, underneath is an opened 'Scientific American' magazine displaying an article on the subject of 'Leonardo Da Vinci & Neuroscience' including an anatomical sketch of a human head and brain.

#migrainechat Do you have feedback on this depiction of #migraine aura ? - as a hemiplegic migraine sufferer myself - my aim is to capture both the experience & intensity of the feeling for a general 'neurotypical' audience & hopefully increase migraine awareness #feedbackwelcome Thanks in advance.
Artwork in progress, depicting the experience of migraine aura. The image shows a woman underwater, wearing a red flowing dress that turns into flames at the edges, layers of broken glass textures surround her as colourful static pattern emanates from the center outwards.

Work in Progress - using grids & the rule of thirds to plan for organised chaos #artyear #artshare #artprocess #photography
Work in progress artwork. A red grid, demonstrating the rule of thirds on top of the face of a woman in a quarter turn pose, the woman is staring directly at the viewer - cracks appear in the woman's face revealing parts of the chaotic background. The background is like TV static with bright colours, representing the high pitched feeling of tinnitus and migraine aura.

Work in progress - 'Aura' #photography #charcoal & #ink
Trying to express the strange #migraine #aura experience. Any tips on how to make this less 'Psychedelic'?
Photographic Artwork - Work in progress: an image of a man experiencing a migraine aura, set in a magenta room with a surreal blue mirror reflecting his younger self behind him, starting at the back of his head. Multi-coloured streams of light swirling and surrounding the man's head.

For today's #FebruArty #Orange theme,. My #wip work in progress #artwork using a combination of double exposure #Photography & #painting techniques.
A painting using double exposure photography & painting techniques. The image is a man in a suit wearing an orange tie, fading into the background, the background is a dramatic blue waterfall & the foreground is a chaotic mix of fiery orange, yellow and red colours, splattered over the scene of an office party.
