Neuroscientists claim to have communicated with a patient who appears to be in a vegetative state by asking him questions and studying fMRI images of his brain directly afterward.

MRI images show what the brain looks like when you do something you know you shouldn’t

The study could also modify previous thinking that considered self-control to be like a muscle. Hedgcock says his images seem to suggest that it’s like a pool that can be drained by use then replenished through time in a lower conflict environment, away from temptations that require its use.

The audible difference between the two states of mind suggests a large difference between ordinary consciousness and meditation. They are quite harmonious in themselves, but dissonant when played together. You can't step in the same stream of consciousness twice.

This is a video documenting how we trained 2 dogs to go in the MRI scanner for fMRI without restraints or sedation (check out the music video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DTqbLwSwVU). The goal of The Dog Project is to use fMRI to decode the dog-human relationship from the dog's perspective

When a patient afflicted with schizophrenia hears inner voices something is taking place inside the brain that prevents the individual from perceiving real voices. A simple electronic application may help the patient learn to shift focus. Via Dimitris Agorastos

This video shows the white matter connections and grey matter activity of a real human brain measured on a 3 Tesla MR scanner, visualized in a special way: it unites in one three-dimensional view the functional and structural connectedness of the brain, and makes the brain activity of this individual subject audible by converting it into the background music to the video. By visualizing in this way both a diffusion tensor and resting-state functional MR dataset acquired using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner, this movie illustrates different concepts of image processing, connectivity and activity in a real human brain at rest. The background music was composed by assigning a musical instrument to the ten strongest functional patterns in the brain.

fMRI data converted to musical sound. Brain images are preprocessed into 20 distributed ensembles, "Independent Components," and each is assigned a tone on a pentatonic scale.

The ability to dream is a fascinating aspect of the human mind. However, how the images and emotions that we experience so intensively when we dream form in our heads remains a mystery. Via Dimitris Agorastos, Romylos Pantzakis, Sandeep Gautam
