This video describes an artist who uses her own MRIs of the brain to convery the beauty and complexity of the imperfect brain in her art. The artist has multiple sclerosis.
A group of Scottish researchers has discovered that the conventional wisdom on the correct posture when sitting — upright with back and thighs at a 90-degree angle — might actually be a cause of back pain. They used a positional MRI scanner that can image patients in weight-bearing positions to assess the degree of strain produced by several commonly used sitting positions. You might be surprised by the results.
Radiographer, Mark Harrison gives a quick patient overview of the MRI scan…
Several leading Western researchers provided 15-minute Tech Talks outlining key areas of their research at the 2010 WORLDISCOVERIES research showcase held in London Ontario.
Hear what the brain scanner sees. Data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are converted to musical sound. (This is the short version; See the 6-part “Music of the Hemispheres” for more.) Data are preprocessed into “independent components,” regions of the brain which activate or deactivate in unison. Each component is assigned a tone, and the tone gets louder or softer in proportion to the degree of activity in the corresponding brain region. So, a melody is the moving center of metabolic energy, dancing all over the brain.
just a little demonstration of what to expect in an MRI scanner. =) magnetic resonance imaging is done – as the name suggests – by inducing strong magnetic fields – no ionizing radiation (“radioactivity”) is involved!
