A 3-D View of the Brain

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the mine-is-kinda-bland-before-the-coffee-kicks-in dept.

Jamie found a nifty story about Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital coming up with new 3D Brain Imaging Software. The interesting bit is that it merges data from MRIs as well as various other types of brain scans to create a single visualization for your noodle.

    If it really was a 3D representation of my brain, all you'd see would be tits and code (and maybe some beer).

    Oh, you were looking for a display, and maybe a mouse and overlapping WIndows ? Sorry, hadn't been invented yet. We did build a color map display and rotate it, though. This was the Biomedical Image Analysis Lab. Very cool stuff for 1975. Imaging and display ran on a PDP-11...mmm. back in the day. had to boot that sucker by loading in the punch tape boot code sequence in octal, then load paper tape, THEN we could actually load the programs from Mag tape. you guys and your newfangled hard drives don't know how easy you've got it !
