My dissertation involved segmenting and rendering brains from 3D MR images of the head. One of the ways I checked my software was by hacking the head off a cadaver, imaging it, hacking out the brain, and then successfully matching volumes and photographs of the brain sulci from various POVs with the 3D renderings generated from the segmented images. That's probably my most successful hacking of a non-computer system :)
- Tichy 19y agoInteresting twist on the theme - kind of savage, though ;-)
- yters 19y agoHas anyone ever placed speakers or moving parts in the cadavers? I often wanted to do this at my college.
- DocSavage 19y agoWe must pay respect to the people who donate their bodies for educational and scientific studies. So if the speakers or moving parts don't increase our knowledge, the keeper of the cadavers should veto their use. The excellent book "Stiff" by Mary Roach describes many interesting uses of cadavers, from crash test dummies to Death's Acre in Knoxville, TN.
- yters 19y agoGood point, that was wrong of me.
