| Abstract: | Neuroscientists usually scan real brains to understand the mind. A team at the University of Malta is doing the opposite: they are building a fake brain first – not to think, but to keep neuroscience reliable. Their project, SARA, blends Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) with delicate biochemistry in an unlikely marriage that could make brain imaging more reliable and more reproducible. |
