Pain: Felt and Drawn

We recently collaborated with Dr. Asmita Sarkar , Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design & Technology, to create a project titled "Pain: Felt and Drawn." This project intends to draw interest in pain neuroscience research and communicate the intricacies of how pain is felt and processed in art.  We won a small grant from FAST India and presented our work at the  India Science Festival, held in late Jan 2024 at IISER Pune. Below is a collection of paintings by Asmita inspired by how pain is sensed, processed, and interpreted. The video is designed, edited, and scored by Harsh Rathod, an IISER Pune undergraduate.
