==In popular culture== [[File:Creación de Adám.jpg|thumb|Right: Red cloak as lateral view of the human brain]] Pop musician [[David Bowie]] referred to psychologist [[Carl Jung]] as "...crashing out with Sylvian" in his lyrics to "[[Drive-In Saturday]]" released on his 1973 album ''Aladdin Sane''. In 2015,<ref>Stark, Tanja (2015) “Crashing Out with Sylvian: David Bowie, Carl Jung and the Unconscious” in Eoin Devereux, Martin Power and Aileen Dillane (Eds.) David Bowie: Critical Perspectives.Routledge.</ref> artist Tanja Stark suggested Bowie had drawn a cryptic link between Jung's waking hallucinatory visions (see ''[[The Red Book (Jung)|The Red Book]]'') and the Sylvian fissure, a region discovered by that time to produce hallucinogenic visions and ‘paranormal’ perceptions when electrically stimulated and, presciently in 2006, to generate what neurologists called an ‘illusory shadow person’ or [[doppelgänger]] phenomenon; themselves highly charged and recurring Bowie archetypes (Penfield <ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Penfield | first1 = Wilder | last2 = Faulk Jr | first2 = Marshall | year = 1955 | title = The insula.

Stark notes another song on that album "[[Oh! You Pretty Things]]" sings of the hallucinatory spectre of .."a crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me", evoking the iconic imagery of Michelangelo's painting [[The Creation of Adam]]. Stark observes that the American Medical Journal reported that [[Michelangelo]]'s ''The Creation of Adam'' appears to conform deliberately to the neuroanatomical shape of the brain, its Sylvian fissure clearly evident, suggesting Michelangelo may have intentionally conflated theology with neurology (<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Meshberger | first1 = Frank Lynn | year = 1990 | title = An Interpretation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam Based on Neuroanatomy | journal = JAMA | volume = 264 | issue = 14| pages = 1837–41 | doi = 10.1001/jama.1990.03450140059034 | pmid = 2205727 }}</ref> Meshberger 1990: 1837). Others though, have likened the cloak to the [[uterus]] and [[umbilical cord]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Di Bella|first1=Stefano|title=The "Delivery" of Adam: A Medical Interpretation of Michelangelo|url=http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196%2815%2900153-6/fulltext?mobileUi=0|journal=[[Mayo Clinic Proceedings]]|date=2015|issue=4|pages=505–508|doi=10.1016/j.mayocp.2015.02.007|pmid=25841253|volume=90|doi-access=free|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
