Thanks for the kind words. I am the first author of the "Neural correlates of interspecies perspective taking in the post-mortem Atlantic Salmon: An argument for multiple comparisons correction" paper. Happy to take any questions here. A link to the original poster: http://prefrontal.org/files/posters/Bennett-Salmon-2009.pdf

It would be nice if the cost of an MRI was so low you would typically get a cheap one as part of your yearly physical and if anything popped up they could do it again in an expensive, high powered one to verify.

I've scanned about 300 people as part of my research career. The director of the imaging center reviewed every anatomical scan. From that group of 300 we informed about three people that they had an anomaly which should be examined by a doctor.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Sure, it was 1% that needed further validation but that 1% is so much cheaper and easier to treat when its caught early vs. later on when it's noticed by the patient.

MRI's becoming commonplace, even if it were every 3 years instead of annually would be a useful tool to improve health outcomes across the board.

You run into the most entertaining people here. Got any good fish recipes?

Marc Abrahams, organizer of the Ig Nobels, asked us for a salmon recipe to include in a cookbook they were publishing. We sent in a single page recipe for how to cook a salmon in an MRI scanner by overriding the safety protocols. That was fun to write.
