The logo of our laboratory draws inspiration from the Yantra of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of Wisdom, Knowledge, Cognition, and Music. This sacred symbol embodies all aspects of music, with movement and flow—central to musical expression—depicted by three rhythmically overlaid strokes, seamlessly integrated into the geometric structure of the symbol.
This modified version of the Saraswati Yantra serves as a powerful visual representation of the research focus of our laboratory, merging the timeless symbolism of ancient India with cutting-edge scientific exploration.
- The interconnected web of lines resembling triangles symbolizes the intricate network of electrodes used in electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, a vital tool in our research.
- The three rhythmic strokes arranged in a grid pattern, representing the flow of music and its fundamental components--Swara (musical notes) and Tala (beat cycle).
- The seven triangles represent the seven musical notes.
- The white circles in the logo represent the cognitive principle of closure—demonstrating how the mind completes incomplete sequences.
- The three curved lines evoke the cochlea, which transforms sound vibrations into neural impulses, bridging the link between music and cognition.
