A Real-Time Singing MRI Holiday Greeting/Nightmare Fodder

Christmas was yesterday, but I’m the kind of person who likes to prolong the magic of the season. And by that I mean I want to haunt your dreams with a Christmas carol that you will never unsee.

Behold this real-time MRI of someone singing “Deck The Halls” by the folks at the Beckman Institute. The real use of technology like this is to study the dynamics of human speech by looking inside someone’s head. It also has an interesting side-effect: Whenever I hear this song, for the rest of my life, I will see this. 

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how they did it.

Miracle Berries

By themselves, Miracle berries don’t taste like much. The reason to eat them is that they contain a chemical called miraculin that binds to the sweet taste receptors on your tongue, changing their shape and making them respond to sour and acidic foods.

The upshot of this effect is that some things you eat taste spectacularly different. Straight Tabasco sauce tastes like donut glaze. Guinness tastes like a chocolate malt. Goat cheese tastes like cheesecake. After about an hour of craziness, your taste buds go back to normal, no harm done.
