Hi I want Lego because I plan to talk about building blocks for mechanistic models of psychological phenomena. And I think actually that the brain would be a great use of Lego ... imagine different colors for different regions of the brain. If you want to see what is possible with Lego (and a 3-D scanner and lots of patience), look at this 75 cm tall model of Mario!

But you might try knitted and quilted brains at the The Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art.
