"Human Brains" is the result of an intensive investigative process undertaken since 2018 byFondazione Prada in the field of neuroscience, driven by a deep interest to understand thehuman brain, the complexity of its functions, and its centrality to human history. Through a convergence of diverse scientific approaches (neurobiology, philosophy, psychology,neurochemistry, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and robotics) the human brain was examined in the plural-as expressed by the title-to underline its intrinsic complexity and the irreduciblesingularity of each individual. As stated by Miuccia Prada, President of Fondazione Prada, "Weare increasingly interested in relevant subjects that impact the lives of everyone, even whenthose topics are difficult to understand. For a cultural institution whose identity is rooted in thefield of visual arts, dealing with science is an intellectual and political challenge: how do we make an exhibition about ideas and knowledge?"
