I recently volunteered to take part in a study that is meant to see whether computer exercises can make a person more intelligent. As part of the study, I went in today to get an fMRI while I did some cognitive tests. It was like something out of science fiction complete with a strange, eerie soundtrack (from the buzz, humm, beep, and thump of the machine as it scanned me). By the end of it I was struggling to stay awake, and when they pulled me out of the machine my neck was very stiff. In any case, after I finished, they sent me this picture of my brain, so, in case any of you were wondering what it’s like inside my head, here’s your answer!
Note: I was able to select the view of my brain that I wanted to receive, but playing around with it, it all looked very much the same. I picked one that seemed to show a lot of different things. I have no idea what any of this is…

Were you thinking about morelles? It looks like a sideways mushroom there at the back toward the bottom. Pretty neat
