Something that drew me into studying psychology was the terminology. There was a kind of scientific poetry to the language of certain theories and paradigms. One term I came across in the early days was 'cognitive architecture'. I had no idea what it meant, but I liked the sound of it.

'Cognitive architecture' makes me think of an organic cathedral made of neurons - a massive structure half building, half rain forest. Visitors to the cathedral are invited to lie on the floor and stare up at the light refracting through the ceiling. Some say that if you look very carefully, you can make out faint archetypal images - constellations made of brain cells.

It is a 'dissociated culture of rat hippocampal neurons' with a few special effects that I added in Photoshop.
