The Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) at The University of Queensland is one of Australia's leading neuroscience research institutes. Home to internationally recognised researchers, QBI is dedicated to understanding how the brain works and discovering new ways to prevent, treat, and cure neurological and mental health disorders.

For nearly two decades, the Queensland Brain Institute's annual Art in Neuroscience competition has invited artists, researchers, students, and the community to explore one of the most fascinating frontiers of science: the brain.

Since its inception in 2008, the competition has provided a unique platform where creativity and scientific discovery meet. Each year, participants respond to themes inspired by neuroscience, transforming complex concepts, cutting-edge research, and personal experiences into powerful visual works. The result is a vibrant collection of artworks that sparks curiosity, celebrates imagination, and helps make neuroscience accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. This exhibition showcases selected works from the competition, highlighting the remarkable ways art can communicate the beauty, mystery, and significance of brain research.
