Ultimate Gambit

Today i helped out a friend by going an experiment of his in an MRI Scanner. It’s pretty wierd going in those things – the field is pretty strong, and if you forget to take your belt off (like i stupidly did) you can feel it within about 5m of the machine! That’s one hell of a strong magnet! The particular machine we used was more than double the strength of the ones that they use in hospital, but i’m told it’s still safe… (here’s to hoping!)

Anyway, the best bit about having it done was the fact that they gave me the data and told me where to get the software to have a mess around with it. So, after an hour or so playing with my brain this evening (so to speak), i’ve come up with the following two pretty cool images of my brain, as supplied by the machines at the Nottinghm Magnetic Resonance Centre! Funky ey?! So for all of you that have doubted that I had a brain in the past, here’s the proof that you’re wrong

Just remind me never to shave my head – its far to much of a strange shape!!
