Right now I would guess that we are only making medical use of a fraction — maybe 30 percent — of the information that is in our brain images. This is particularly true of functional MRI (fMRI), where you can actually see the brain going through the thought processes and see differences between different people and their responses. We’re mostly interested in it in terms of its impact on disease, but there are all sorts of other potential uses of fMRI. There is neuro-marketing — imaging people’s brains and seeing how they respond to various advertising approaches. There is talk about using it in legal systems to evaluate whether someone is telling the truth or not using fMRI. Fascinating interview with MRI inventor Dr. John Schenck, who talks about the next frontiers of brain imaging (via curiositycounts)

Here are some screenshots of this terrible movie I had to write about. I wrote something equally terrible. Fuck this semester.
