read about it, and lots of pics:

Friggin' awesome! It only leaves two questions:

1) How can I get my own brain scanned?
2) Where can I download that sweet data set/model?

Scientists publish papers on their work. Look up the papers, and a contact email will be included on the first page.

Let us know what you find out   :)
