Her art, like John Currin's, push around *the sense of gender,* *objectification,* *identity,* and formalities such as *response to portraiture,* and *color theory.*

Woof, your response is a great contribution to this debate because this is a painting of a young girl in awkward adolescence, looking at the image of a little girl on the wall through a strange and not wholly comfortable aura.

Penfield was a groundbreaking researcher and highly original surgeon. With his colleague, Herbert Jasper, he invented the Montreal procedure, in which he treated patients with severe epilepsy by destroying nerve cells in the brain where the seizures originated. Before operating, he stimulated the brain with electrical probes while the patients were conscious on the operating table (under only local anesthesia), and observed their responses. In this way he could more accurately target the areas of the brain responsible, reducing the side-effects of the surgery. This technique also allowed him to create maps of the sensory and motor cortices of the brain (see cortical homunculus) showing their connections to the various limbs and organs of the body. These maps are still used today, practically unaltered. ~Wiki
