“Ramón y Cajal: drawings on the retina” is a documentary about the Nobel Prize winner that explores, from a contemporary perspective, his fascination with images as a bridge between the reality of the physical world and that created in the brain, with a new integrative approach to his artistic and scientific facets and his legacy, told through the experiences and points of view of researchers, artists, historians, family members, and other experts who consider Cajal a visionary who transcended his own science. In one of the laboratories, a machine answers Cajal's last question: how are images formed in the brain?

00:00The New York Times said that he was an artist
00:04at the height of Leonardo and Miguel Ángel.
00:11We are at the end of the 19th century.
00:13It's the great era of the discoveries.
00:16And Cajal is fascinated by that exploratory mentality
00:20that enters the sea.
00:21He does it in the brain.
00:23The first great discovery of Cajal
00:26is what is known as the neuronal theory.
00:28He explains processes that until now
00:31seem magical, as could be the vision.
00:35He is the great researcher of the retina
00:38of the siglo XX, without any doubt.
00:41His initial passion was the drawing.
00:45And somehow, the photography
00:48completed his passion for the world of the image.
00:53The brain is the dark side
00:55where we produce images
00:56where we think, figure
00:58and represent the world.
01:02Today I'm going to go
01:04in the scanner as an experimental subject.
01:07The ultimate goal
01:08is to try to reconstruct the entire picture
01:11that the subject is looking at,
01:12almost as an image.
01:18In the literal survival of the theatre
01:19In the end of the world,
01:19in which throughout the entire
01:20scientificしまies were
01:21took great contributions.
01:23He was very committed
01:24with Spain in his time.
01:26He took place
01:27the impact that he had on Dalí
01:28is clear.
01:29Because of him
01:30he was born
01:31at the beginning of the
01:32biggest surrealism
01:33in the Middle East.
01:33He drew the path
01:34of the science
01:36almost to today.
01:37And it is way
01:38for a real universe.
01:39Oh, my gosh.
