Aidan Mason-Mackay: High Resolution MRI, Where Abstract Maths Meets the Real World
In my last post, we discussed the physics of MRI, and one of two laws of physics that it circumvents. This time, we’ll explore the second of these rules, which allows us to make high-frame-rate videos of the brain. This post highlights the work of four mathematicians, who used abstract mathematics to make a big […]
Aidan Mason-Mackay: MRI, circumventing the rules I learnt in my physics degree
I was introduced to MRI when I started my PhD, and I was fascinated to learn that it circumvents two so-called rules I’d learnt during my undergraduate degree in physics. I’ll share the first one with you here, and the other in my next blog post. I hope these posts will give you more appreciation […]

Bahram Sarvi Zargar: Unveiling the pathology of epilepsy “We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time.” These words by T. S. Eliot hold true for many of us in our personal and professional lives. For me, they perfectly […]

Melina Estela Dalmau: Beyond what is seen Last November I travelled from Mallorca to Kuopio to join the Multiscale Imaging Group at the A. I. Virtanen Institute. The reason: to start an exciting project in the field of neuroscience. I am delighted with the opportunity to be here to do research on this topic, as […]
