The imaging software used only displays outlines of each passenger—anything exciting thankfully remains blurred—and security employees, who are required to be of the same gender as the scanned passenger, view the images in small, private rooms. Furthermore, images are never stored or distributed for...
Solms, who believes science is getting closer to answering the key questions about dreaming, is leading two studies at the University of Cape Town with that goal in mind. One involves using functional magnetic resonance imaging to try to disentangle the REM brain from the dreaming brain. He wants to...
BEFORE MAGNETIC RESONANCE imaging (MRI) became standard in the 1980s, doctors had two ways of looking inside the human body: the not-always-precise X-ray, which exposed patients to radiation, and surgery. Physicist Paul Lauterbur, a co-winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize, helped pioneer the use of MRI...
The imaging study, to be published shortly in the American journal Bipolar Disorders, is the culmination of four years' work by a psychiatrist (Malhi) and a neuroscientist (Lagopoulos) who make an engagingly odd pairing. Cambridge-trained Malhi does most of the talking, often employing metaphors to explain complex ideas; Lagopoulos...
In their latest study, Malhi and Lagopoulos used functional magnetic resonance imaging to see what happens in the normalized bipolar brain when subjects are asked to interpret facial expressions-specifically, of fear and disgust. While reading faces is something bipolar patients often feel they're struggling with, the study showed...
