scipsy:

Images produced with Diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging (DSI) a new tool developed by Van J Wedeen. Here’s an interview, and here’s a slide show.

Random fact: These methods capture six dimensions of information (three spatial and three about water diffusion) to create the images.

So we’re getting really good at drawing images of the brain’s elaborate connectome. Now if only we can start drawing more realistic conclusions about how it all relates to our biology and eventually our personalities. This is an incredibly cool technique that is simplifying our view of brain structure, while at the same time complicating our view of brain biology.

   Help us get better at mapping the connectome by playing EyeWire, a game to map the brain. http://eyewire.org/
