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 […]
Aidan Mason-Mackay: A physicist’s journey to the Neuro-Innovation Phd Programme
My name is Aidan, and I am a new Neuro-Innovation PhD researcher, originally from New Zealand. I’m a physicist, and my PhD will focus on the development of brain imaging techniques to help us better understand how memories are formed. My passion for physics was sparked by my brilliant high school teachers, who encouraged me […]
