A slick little neuroimaging video, but in five or ten years it will probably seem as clunky as this 1998 clip.
Omni Brain
An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.
The Homunculus
The 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.

Thanks for the clip. Very pretty.
As far as that MNI MPEG is concerned
I was one of the people who put it together..actually back in about 1989/1991..we converted it to MPEG in 1998 when we were putting some of our (already old) video demo's on the web.
It was originally rendered on a Pixar imaging computer by Louis Collins and myself, back in the day when Pixar still made hardware.
Cheers

Call me a fMRI-OCD freak, but watching this video I couldn't get over how crappy their surface reconstruction was! The gray matter looks nothing like it should look (seems like the pial surface wasn't extracted properly by whatever algorithm was used), and is full of holes, sulcii that are two deep, gyrii that are too thin and other deformities (e.g., STG, IFG).
just my 2c.
