Science Chicago - Human Brain Imaging: Observing New Dimensions of the Mind November 15, 2008

The University of Illinois at Chicago possesses an MRI machine unlike any other: its 9.4 tesla magnet has a field strength more than three times that of other state-of-the-art clinical MRI units. UIC’s 9.4 Tesla MRI has just successfully completed safety trials and may soon offer physicians a real-time view of biological processes in the human brain. Come learn about the science behind magnetic resonance imaging and see real life demonstrations where you’ll observe brain activity with never-been-seen-before dimension and clarity.
