The second Melt the ICE Hat is done, and I like this one better. I think it's because I used fingering yarn. The hat is softer, and it stay...

Our paper about estimation of phase-pole-free images for parallel magnetic resonance imaging using nonlinear inversion is now online. This method finally solves an outstanding and annoying problem in this area in a rather elegant way.

Halifax woman calling out NSH after 7-year wait for MRI appointment
A Halifax woman says enough is enough when it comes to long waittimes in the healthcare system. Jessica Leslie just got a call for her MRI appointment seven years after her specialist sent in a requisition.

Brain Activity

March 2026 - A video (https://doi.org/10.1101/649822) of a brain MRI is slit-scanned with color dispersion and fed to the YOLO object recognition model. Activations in YOLO's 7th backbone layer are used to modulate alpha transparency and luminance in a 3D render of the slit-scanned video as a volume (of width x height x time). The accompanying music is made by injecting embeddings from the CLIP image description model running on the resulting video into the conditioning pathway of Facebook's MusicGen generative music model.

I got an MRI earlier today to check out my liver; it was my first MRI. I didn't think there was anything too notable about the procedure itself, other than maybe the noise. I had heard that they were noisy, but that really is a lot of noise caused by electrons moving through a magnetic field.

The technology behind MRIs is pretty amazing though. Another imaging technique that's cool is optical coherence tomography, often used to get microscopic pictures of parts of the eye.
