Human brain animations

Resources for, and animations of, a human brain. These are primarily surface renderings from MRI volume data. Space Software was used for most manipulation and rendering.

Still fun to see an new image show up in the side bar. Pa caught my attention Mark its a good one. Seems to depict, for me, looking at the sun from underwater, while a bit drunk. Would make a good logo maybe for orange juice I particularly like the swastika origin an ancient archetypal symbol with records going to Egypt and sun god idolatry before that guy usurped it.

Obviously not a complete list (please comment to add to the list):

These Bronze Brain Earrings are a bargain at $14.95, available at NeuroMart: Cognitive products at a reasonable price! : 

Science 18 April 2008 Vol 320, Issue 5874 has a wonderful article about the geometry of music, how  "many musical terms can be understood as expressing symmetries of n-dimensional space, where each dimension represents a voice in the score. Identifying—gluing together—points related by these symmetries produces exotic mathematical spaces (orbifolds) that subsume a large number of geometric models previously proposed."

I've been thinking about a combinatorial problem related to square tilings -- how does one arrange n terms (or symbols/motifs) such that all combinations of neighbors occur. This led to a square tiling that would look good on a large scale, so I did a photo manipulation on a brick wall:

Brigid's cross tessellations and patterns

This guy is documenting the process of building a giant robot. The thing I like about it is that he discusses that his documentary is not specifically about building a robot, but rather it demonstrates how one might build anything that has never been built before, which is a component of the ethic of enzymind. The link above is to the 11th segment where he touches upon this philosophy, but the entire series starting at segment 1 can be found in the you tube side bar.
