On March 27th, I went into the
Center for Neuroimaging to participate in one of
Scott Frye's studies on tool use. It was an
fMRI experiment, meaning they spent hours scanning my brain.
Then, I got all the brain imaging data on a CD, and made some videos using
OsiriX, a DICOM-image viewer for the Mac.
This picture is a movie of what you'd see if you started looking, from above, at the base of my neck, and then the movie scrolls up through my head. The last frame is the very top of my head. In this movie, it's as if I'm looking at the top of the screen.
This picture takes three orthogonal planes of my brain, sets them up all 3d like, and then rotates the brain. You can barely see the dimension that goes "into" your computer screen, so it's basically just two dimensions of my brain twirling around 360 degrees. It starts with me looking to the right and slightly out of the monitor.
This one is like the last one, except that I rotated my head so that you can see all three dimenisons.
Coolest thing evar.
