PARRA ROZO, Omar. The brain, a moving map. Aletheia [online]. 2009, n.30, pp. 10-26. ISSN 1413-0394.

This work tends to show an aesthetic relation that comes from brain connections to neuronal relations that happens there. It shows that the intricate brain network is a map, whose devices that take the path that creates thought, feel or act, they are the same that lose in a twist of the road o those which get to the finish line without notice. The sense organs that are in the relation between the internal reality and the external context, remind the premise that nothing that is in the mind if it has not already happened over them. The work with “the color”, as an example of perception, from three different points of view, takes to the reflection about the multiple brain chances, the infinite chances of combination and varied creative elements that make possible the survivor and the daily human routines. The complex brain structure with its millions of neurons and infinite connections is usually compared with a telephone network, complex machinery and several comparisons. In this article, it is compared with a map and a road bordered by the narrative, statics and science.
