Visualising MRI data in Python

Those beautiful color-dappled images are actually representations of particular areas in the brain that are working the hardest—as measured by increased oxygen consumption—when a subject performs a task such as reading a passage or reacting to stimuli, such as pictures of faces.

By using visualisation techniques, people have succeeded in producing remarkable outcomes for themselves, from reducing pain and the effects of injury, to enhancing their memories, their ability to achieve their goals, their sporting capabilities and their physical
