Omni Brain

An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.

The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Multimedia Friday 01/06/07 redux

This week's multimedia presentation is made of animated gifs. Yep, images that [should] play on all computer systems, of brain scans rendered in small animated .gif files (around 1 mb each, 4 mb for the larger orthogonal slices with three views). Artist/scientist/research assistant Mark Dow created these mesmerizing animations along with some earlier Quicktime animations; visit his page for more. orthogonal_slices.gif

Above: Human brain, three orthogonal T1 weighted MRI slice sets.

Thank you for permissions, Mark! Make more? Fly-ins and spinning brains are beautiful . Also check out Mark's Brain art fodder page; more on that later.
