a few weeks ago @alephneuro handed me the scan data behind the highest-res images ever taken of a human brain.
They were just thousands of xyz coordinates of each microbubble inside of @_marleyx 's brain.
my job was to make it beautiful, here's how we did it:
We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.
Introducing Aleph, a research lab building brain interfaces for the telepathic future. (1/n)
then we started pushing it
turned the scan data into custom velocity fields and ran VFX sims through them
here is a particle sim that made the brain feel like a tree growing
this is the epitome of cowboy science
@_marleyx & @levchizhov injected microbubbles into their bloodstreams in order to get these images of their brains
I spent the last few weeks with Aleph playing with the aesthetics of brain data – enjoy
the first time i lived in SF the aleph team housed me in the closet of their home office for months
over 4 years i've seen them play with played with fire, sound, light, bytes.
they are joyous, curious, and sharp. i hope they win!
