Neuroscience as Art

• Only one submission per person, but multiple individuals from the same lab are able to submit unique entries.
• Submission must include one static image accompanied by a title/caption and a short description in non-technical language.
• The title and description should communicate the science in clear, concise language that is accessible to a non-specialist audience.
• Images must be the result of research affiliated with the University at Buffalo.
• Images must be original images created by the submitter(s). Use of AI to create these images is not allowed. We are looking for original images made during the scientific process, not images inspired by science.
• Participants agree that submissions can be used for publicity purposes, posted on social media, and/or used on the UB website.
• Submissions may be photographs, illustrations, visualizations, renderings and may include anything produced in the course of performing research. Examples include microscope photographs, telescope photographs, still images from video cameras, IR cameras, high-speed cameras, simulation results, 3-D renderings, data plots and mathematical visualizations, observations of natural phenomena, etc.
• Research posters should not be submitted.

• JPEG, PNG, GIF or PDF documents only.
• High-resolution (300 dpi or higher) images strongly encouraged. We can print lower resolution images if needed, but larger is best.

Submissions will be reviewed by a committee of Neuroscience faculty, with scores based on:

• Scientific content
• Connection between neuroscience and art
• Artistic quality  

Monetary prizes will be awarded to the top three entries and presented at Neuroscience Research Day.
