Explore my brain in 3D

I just uploaded an MRI taken of my brain by for research purposes.  You can download it along with a free software package, then navigate around looking at any depth, multiple angles, zoom in and out.  It's really fun and a little creepy!  Some views look like weird animals or aliens.

If you see anything unusual or out of place, please leave me a comment!

The 3D file is available here: http://j.mp/JoeBrain
And the software (for OSX): http://j.mp/NeuroL

The data were taken on an awe-inspiring 3-Tesla machine by my generous friend Kevin DiSimone, a researcher at York University in Toronto, who is working to understand how data from the optic nerves is processed downstream.
