Courtesy of Kirsty Stevens, this month’s image features the 10th anniversary souvenir conference bag for registered delegates at the 2018 SINAPSE Annual Scientific Meeting, a collaboration between her design brand Charcot and SINAPSE.

Inspired by her own diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Kirsty founded Charcot (named after the neurologist who first described the condition) to create surface patterns and designs based upon her MRI brain scans. To help mark 10 Years of SINAPSE and celebrate Scottish imaging research, it was a delight and a privilege for us to collaborate with Kirsty on this project at the intersection of imaging science and art.

More of Kirsty’s artwork can be viewed, and pieces can be purchased, at the Charcot website.
