Gavin Inglis was the Language and Cognition Fellow and is a writer with a background in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Interactive Narratives. He used his previous experience to explore the possibilities offered by the Fellowship.
Not There is a graphic story about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) created by Inglis in partnership with Edinburgh artist Fin Cramb as part of the Beyond Walls Art and Therapeutic Design (ATD) programme for the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Edinburgh.
“The brief was to ‘mark the transition’ and do something constructive for patients and the building. I knew I wanted to do a lot of engagement, amongst other things there was a neuroscience evening at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
“As part of the fellowship at DCN, I wanted to create something that could help patients. Recognising and understanding a Functional Neurological Disorder is an essential part of treatment.” – Artist Gavin Inglis
