This is a scan of a brain using an MRI. There are 120 sagital slices put together in a video.
I made this video time ago, when I used to hear Van Halen. I was looking at the scans and I thought : “Hey, if the transition of this slices could make some sounds, I believe the sound it’s something very close to the song 1984 by Van Halen”
This is a set of scans of some fruits and vegetables in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
- Cucumber.
- Pomegranate.
- Onion.
- Tangerine.
- Starfruit or Carambola.
- Kiwi (axial slice).
- Kiwi (sagital slice).
- Tomato (axial slice).
- Tomato (sagital slice).
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a medical imaging technique to acquire images from the human body —vegetables and fruits also =) —, and it is completely harmless (no radiation). If well applied, you can virtually scan any part of the human body.
Those scans were made, when I was in college, being able to play around with an MRI. Yeah MRIs are fun =)
This is a picture of me….well it is my brain taken with a Magnetic Resonance.
It’s actually the best picture of me.
If you look with detail, maybe you can identify different parts of the brain, like the cerebellum, the corpus callosum, Pons among others. It is not a secret that I have a big nose.
When you mix up Neuroscience, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and other types of medical imaging , and some knitting, you get some incredible pieces of art.
What you see, in the second image is a hooked wool rug with axial brain slices, from an MRI.
I do believe that science and art, is one of the best ways, to popularize science, because it can enhance curiosity.
Those pieces of art are amazing, I highly encourage to visit the original website where I get those images to see with more detail those pieces.
