Using PET and fMRI scans from The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research, artist and author Steve West transforms real brain data into striking images. Alongside portraits and personal stories, this collection confronts the realities of mental illness and the damage caused by stigma.
When you purchase Beautiful Minds, you support research, treatment and peer-led recovery. All proceeds beyond publishing costs are shared equally between The Royal and the Community Addictions Peer Support Association (CAPSA).
The Royal’s Brain Imaging Centre is a state-of-the art research facility featuring a positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) scanner —the first of its kind in Canada dedicated solely to mental health and neuroscience research.
