I'm assuming his head was clamped in place at his ears; if not, I hope the otoplasty is successful...

This guy is clearly the Antichrist. His brain is face of Satan.

alumshubby - he said on the page that he was wearing foam ear protectors. MRIs are extremely loud.

That's pretty nifty. It kind of looks like it would be appopriate for a TOOL video.

Nifty. Reminds me of my days archiving the articles at Diagnostic Imaging magazine, only the scan images are animated, and the content isn't completely beyond my comprehension.

This is kind of funny, because I made an animation based on an MRI of my brain a couple years ago. (Yes, this is a self-link, big freakin deal):
