Why don't you build one? I imagine it would take a whole lot of Legos, but you 
could follow the general idea of how Mario was built. I suppose it depends on 
what size you want it, but the idea of using the pixelated image as a pattern 
seems logical.

Post the picture when you get it done. :)

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!

Unfortunately does not look like anyone has shown a similar interest in the 
brain.

Take care
Jim

Lego seems a rather unlikely medium to portray a brain. But you might try 
knitted and quilted brains at the The Museum of Scientifically Accurate 
Fabric Brain Art. 

Really.
