As part of a Baylor Med neuroscience study assessing the relationship between empathy and memory, I got paid $35 to answer some questions and receive a brain MRI this afternoon. I exported the sequence of images (192 in total) as a video.

Here are some other images:

Sagittal view

Coronal view

In spite of having looked at countless brain MRIs, looking at my own is totally different. I’m just glad it didn’t show… well… hollow space.

haha cool. Man that must be nuts to see your own MRI. But hey even if there was hollow space, just think of it as room to grow, eh?
