Published sheet, version 4

The Commons brain

The lobes of the human brain, lateral view, drawn as one unbroken shape. The same pipeline as the heart: Muse Spark planned the parts, SAM 3.1 outlined them, and the teacher checked all 5 parts on the sheet and described two.

The tactile sheet for human brain lobes, lateral view, as printed: the raised outlines with textures, braille labels, four corner marks lettered A to D, and a 100 mm bar.
The sheet as it prints, from tactile.svg, with the outlines from regions.json over it. Both are in page millimeters.

  • Move the pointer onto a part: a tone, then its name when you rest.
  • Click or tap a part to hear its name at once. Rest inside the outline, on no part, to hear the subject.
  • Keyboard: Tab to a part on the sheet or in the list, and press Enter. Escape stops speech.
  • The browser speaks only after a first click, tap or key press on the page.

This is a stand-in on a screen. The real product follows a fingertip on the printed, raised sheet with a phone camera, and plays the same tones and names. Questions need the live app and are not on this site.
