Hot Pics!

Let me just be the first to say: that's one good-looking brain. In
particular, what a big hippocampus it has (all the better to remember you with):


In fairness, perhaps I am - it is - a biased observer of myitself. Perhaps the
study of the mind requires new pronouns.

I didn't just trip and fall into an MRI, I participated as a subject
in a memory task imaging fMRI study at my alma mater-to-be UCSD, by
the same group that wrote the voodoo correlations paper.

The worst thing about the experience? Tring to stay awake for the whole hour without being able to control any stimuli. I hope I gave them good data.
