Over the past 5 years we have worked with 40+ academics at over 35 leading institutions across North America to help them visualize, and therefore design, their big picture ideas.
DR. SHIRLEY WANG (YALE UNIVERSITY)
Mental disorders are incredibly complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic phenomena that vary within people, between people, and across time. The goal of the Computational Clinical Science Lab, directed by Dr. Shirley Wang, at Yale Univeristy, is to develop and harness methods that can capture and model this complexity.
“My core concept illustration exactly captures all the things that have been swirling about in my mind. Thoughtscape went above and beyond.”
DR. ERIC WILKEY (VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY)
Everyone has the potential to develop a rich set of mathematical skills, skills that empower them to understand and engage with the numerical information in their world. The Number Lab, directed by Dr. Eric Wilkey, at Vanderbilt University, investigates the neurocognitive mechanisms that support this mathematical potential.
"I got exactly what I wanted and then also things I didn't know I needed. Thoughtscape really push me to frame my essential ideas. They pushed hard to get them clear and conceptually neat. I didn’t expect to walk away having had such an expansive experience."
DR. LILA DAVACHI (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY)
Our experiences become memories and in turn our memories guide current observations, thoughts, decisions and behaviors. The CORE Lab, direct by Dr. Lila Davachi, at Columbia University, explores this transformation process, examining how memories are constructed, organized and are later reactivated, scaffolding our current experience.
"I love my core concept illustration. I feel really proud that I was even a part of the experience of bringing it all together. It's like they reached into my brain and pulled out this beautiful picture. I didn’t think that I would be getting something so beautiful out of the process.”
