Facing a blank canvas, an artist cannot fully anticipate the completed work. What colors will compose the painting? What technique? Similarly, a scientist beginning a basic research project may have an idea, a hunch. But where will the adventure lead? To what discoveries? There is no way of knowing.   The scientist and the artist both attempt to step outside convention, to embark on a voyage uniquely their own. Their creativity leaves its mark on all of us. Our culture absorbs their triumphs and flourishes on their ideas.

Changing perspectives, self-awareness and keen concentration are all concepts that Ph.D. student Noa Ofen-Noy grapples with as she pursues one of her favorite pastimes – the Japanese martial art of aikido. Her passion for this art of learning fits in well with her work at the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department, where she is trying to determine the factors influencing the performance of cognitive tasks.
