DSI: Amazing Brain Imaging Technology

The neural imaging technology known as DSI (diffusion spectrum imaging) getting better at displaying the connection pathways between areas of cortex and sub-cortical brain centers. For the patient in the video above, brain imaging explained the neurological symptoms, and alerted the neurosurgeon as to the extent of the tumour's infiltration into and disruption of normal tissue.As imaging technologies reveal the deep mysteries of brain structure, connection, and activity in greater and greater detail, the potential for emulating brain function becomes greater.

Even so, science is nowhere close to understanding the incredible multi-dimensional complexity of the simplest brain function as leading to cognition and consciousness. The challenge is so immense, that it is irresistible.
