Neil Fraser has taken nine specifically spaced cross sections from an MRI brain scan then affixed portions to corresponding 1″ wooden cubes to create a three dimensional model representing the whole head. The result is a combination of puzzle and visualization tool, allowing one to explore the head in three dimensions very flexibly and turns medical visualization in to a toy. It may not be as useful for doctors but it is a great way to help us visualize and explore biology. One imagines this project being a catalyst for future projects extending the theme with greater complexity and ambition.
