Hey! I know him!

These are excellent. In fact, I would like to make a music video with them, but I cannot convert animated GIFs to video format. Would you be willing to post a ZIP or RAR of the image files?

[substitute.livejournal.com]

I have them as .mov files, photojpeg format. would that work?

[jamie-miller.livejournal.com]

I think so, yes. Fantastic.

how strongly do you self-identify with those images? do you recognize yourself in them or might it as well be someone else?

[substitute.livejournal.com]

Right now it's just a curiosity. I know it's me, but it's hard to connect.

Your myelencephalon is fat, fatty.

So THAT'S why we dream in black and white ;)

Here's hoping for good stuff to follow!

I can confirm that it doesn't really flow with early Bee Gees.

I like how your nose crosses over in that one frame.

Hi,

My friend linked me to this post of yours. Your brain looks nice and healthy---at least from what I can see. I have a bunch of MRIs in which my brain looks like Swiss Cheese (I have Multiple Sclerosis). How did you do this (using the software you've listed above)? It's damn cool...

[substitute.livejournal.com]

I am sorry to hear you have MS. I didn't know it was that easy to see on an MRI.

I have a mac, so I used a free program called Osirix to grab the images off the hospital's CD into a format I could read. It let me export the images as .mov movie files, and I then used GraphicConverter to turn those into animated GIFs.

Thanks for the brain compliment!

[ofmonsters.livejournal.com]

It's ok...shit happens (hahaha). Oh yeah: MS pops right out on MRIs. See?:





Those are just two of the images from one of my scans. I have 5+ lesions (those white spots) like that in mine brain, and some people have a lot more.

Alas...I don't have a Mac.

Do they know what's wrong with you yet? I gather that they suspect it's neurological---otherwise they wouldn't be scanning your brain. May I ask what symptoms you've been experiencing?

Cheers,
V.

Ahhh, crap. One of my images isn't showing up (and it's the more dramatic one, too --- LOL). See also: http://ofmonsters.livejournal.com/96782.html. I've added you to my FL, so you should have access to the post.

I've looked at them all. I can't see anything wrong with your brain. Hope this is the case...
