Ben Brahim Mohammed

Hello. My name is Ben Brahim Mohammed. I was born in Meknes, Morocco, on May 28, 1980. Since my childhood, I have always felt a great attachment and an endless fascination with science in general, particularly space and the universe, but also the life sciences, particularly biology. I have also had a true passion for computer technology and cinema for a very long time.

In 1999, I enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Fez. I truly enjoyed everything related to fundamental sciences: biophysics, biology, anatomy, and physiology. I always had this desire to discover how this incredible human machine works.

In 2005, I got my first real computer. Since then, computing has become a true obsession for me. I spend all my time in front of my computer, learning how to use software, watching videos, or working on projects.

In 2007, I created Medmatiq, a forum dedicated to medical informatics. I participated in the production of two educational audiovisual resources in neurology (paraplegia and neurological examination). I had always dreamed of creating a professional, high-quality tool to explain how the nervous system works, but I didn't know it would cost me four years of my life.

When I first met with Professor Belahsen to discuss this project in more detail, he told me, "I want this to be better than the theses we have already completed." I replied, "I want it to be better than the theses yet to come!"

The human brain is something fascinating, wonderful, and fantastic. I have always seen and appreciated it as such, but how can I share this vision with others? Fortunately, today's digital multimedia technology allows us to overcome this obstacle.

For a very long time, I immersed myself in extensive self-study in everything that could be useful to present this project the way I wanted. I watched about 30,000 tutorial videos on various software platforms and theoretical concepts. Now, I have a good command of 3ds Max, Photoshop, After Effects, Flash/AS3, HTML/XML/CSS, Premiere Pro, Audition, Encore, Illustrator, Bridge, and others.

My friends always ask me why I waste my time on this project; to them, it's just a waste of time. I believe that the value of any work should not be measured in terms of the material benefit it generates; the true value of a project must be measured by its quality above all, and the number of people it could help. After all, what is the point of living if we only follow the crowd without any distinction?
