Brains of the Future is a speculative design project exploring the evolution of animal brains in extreme environments shaped by human impact. Using 3D modeling, 3D printing, and interactive visuals, it reimagines cognition, adaptation, and survival. The project focuses on three species and their brain evolution: the landfill feral swine, acid-adapted bullfrog, and nuclear war zone raven. Through speculative neuroscience, it envisions how these animals might develop enhanced cognitive functions to navigate their radically transformed habitats.
