The paintings, prints and old objects are photographs and scans released into the public domain or under CC0 by the institutions below, found through Wikimedia Commons. We made smaller copies to keep the site light. The tour has its own copies of the same files: small ones for the walls and larger ones, about 1100 pixels, behind each "look closer" link. Everything else (buttons, test patterns, plots, the homage drawings of old objects, the tour's walls) was drawn by script.

the nervous system

Figures on the nervous-system pages: drawings by Cajal and the plates of Harlow's 1868 paper, all public domain, found through Wikimedia Commons and checked on their Commons pages. We made smaller copies. Four plates were drawn by script for these pages: a spike, a threshold unit, a frog receptive field, and a homunculus strip. Each page shows a smaller copy and links to the full plate.
