IF ONLY

Mine are usually 1hr25. I'll have to look back at that article - don't remember it specifically. Another study I encountered recently, on time/space synesthesia, is one in which our mutual friend would surely distinguish himself.

Ha! Didn't notice that. And how you find all your 47s, well, surely some alchemical science is involved. I will not be surprised if reality melts all around us some day, and at your hand! (I need an evil scientist icon.)
And you don't do anything except try to remain still while keeping your mouth moist in some way (I usually keep gum under my tongue). No headphones/music (how to make those without any kind of metal?), so counting the clangs, trying to find some pattern, is what I usually do. Because falling asleep, which I can do and have done, also runs the risk of movement (and they really do have to start shit over when you move).
My wife lengthily criticized the technician's procedure--you ask the patient if they have any metal on or in them before they're even in the MRI room etc.
See, I've never had an emergency MRI (they've always scheduled several weeks ahead), so I was willing to grant a little representational leeway. I suppose they could have worked in a gag about him sitting in a waiting room filling out the very long list of questions on the intake form ("I need to find the man I came in with!!" "Sir, please complete the fifth page"), but I'll take what I can get.
