fMRI study

Posted on May 30th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

I'm at the Sunnybrook Hospital waiting for the researchers to do an fRMI scan of my brain. One of the researchers - Magda - has promised to e-mail me a JPEG of the structural analysis, and I might hike over to Hasher Lab to get the time series data as well. =)

It's good to know that the fMRI console is a Unix box. I can recognize the fvwm window manager anywhere. ;) Besides, the tech knows at least a little about Unix. I saw some command-line use over there, and I think he was using vi too...

Random Japanese sentence: その猫はミルクを飲む。 The cat drinks milk.
