from Imagination & Medicine: The Future of Healing in an Age of Neuroscience. eds. Stephen Aizenstat and Robert Bosnak (Spring 2009)
Imagination encourages healing by linking the design of buildings to the design of our bodies: A round opening placed at the apex of a dome to receive sunlight is called an oculus. This shape mirrors the circular design of the nerves that enable the eye to perceive light. A labyrinth’s twists and turns embody the winding pathways of the brain. (201)
