How freaking cool is this??? EINSTEIN'S BRAIN IS NOW INTERACTIVE IPAD APP The brain that revolutionized physics now can be downloaded as an app for $9.99. But it won't help you win at Angry Birds. Source Einsteins famous brain at work Einsteins famous brain at rest While Albert Einstein's genius isn't included, an exclusive iPad application launched Tuesday promises to make detailed images of his brain more accessible to scientists than ever before. Teachers, students and anyone who's curious also can get a look. A medical museum under development in Chicago obtained funding to scan and digitize nearly 350 fragile and priceless slides made from slices of Einstein's brain after his death in 1955. The application will allow researchers and novices to peer into the eccentric Nobel winner's brain as if they were looking through a microscope. After Einstein died, a pathologist named Thomas Harvey performed an autopsy, removing the great man's brain in hopes that future researchers could discover the secrets behind his genius. Some may question whether Einstein would have wanted images of his remains sold to non-scientists for $9.99. "There's been a lot of debate over what Einstein's intentions were," museum board member Jim Paglia said. "We know he didn't want a circus made of his remains. But he understood the value to research and science to study his brain, and we think we've addressed that in a respectful manner." This really does strike as surreal. I mean a university or experts who specialize in interpreting and understanding the human brain? That I can see. But anyone with an iPhone? I predict some memorable and very creative sub-apps and meme's based upon the brain of Einstein in our near future. But, moreover, imaging what brilliant students and underfunded labs might accomplish with this sort of access? could the iPhone apps of today be what the Internet was intended to be so many years ago? What an odd and wonderful world we live in. Experts of ATS... What do you make of this? Alternative sources: Fox Cnet USA Today ~Heff

Nova aplikacija za iPad omogućit će vam da izbliza pogledate moždane vijuge čovjeka koji je okrenuo fiziku naglavce. Namijenjena je znanstvenicima, učiteljima, studentima i svima dovoljno radoznalima National Museum of Health and Medicine, medicinski muzej u nastajanju smješten u Chicagu, pribavio je novac za skeniranje i digitalizaciju gotovo 350 krhkih i neprocjenjivih slajdova, veličine 2,54 puta 7,63 centimetra, napravljenih temeljem snimki dijelova Einstenovog mozga, piše Washington Post Temeljem toga nastala je aplikacija pomoću koje možete vidjeti kako je izgledao mozak ekscentričnog nobelovca iznutra, kao da ga gledate pod mikroskopom. Nakon što je Einstein umro 1955. godine patolog Thomas Harvey obavio je autopsiju te uklonio mozak velikana iz njegove glave, nadajući se kako će naraštaji budućih znanstvenika moći otkriti tajnu njegovog genija. Harvey je ustupio uzorke znanstvenicima i sudjelovao s njima tijekom izrade studije, objavljene 1999. godine, prema kojoj je dio Einstenova mozga bio 15 posto širi od običnog ljudskog mozga. Taj je dio važan za razumijevanje matematike, jezika i prostornih odnosa. Nova bi aplikacija znanstvenicima mogla omogućiti dublji zaron, do dijelova mozga gdje su neuroni gušće povezani no inače. No budući da je tkivo sačuvano prije razvoja moderne slikovne tehnologije, moguće je da će znanstvenicima biti teško povezati koji je slajd povezan s kojim dijelom mozga velikog fizičara. Naime, neće imati preciznost anatomskog modela. Bi li se Einstein složio s prodajom slika svojih ostataka neznanstvenoj zajednici za 9,99 dolara (oko 57 kuna) po komadu? Pomaknut kakav je bio, moguće je da bi. Aplikaciju pogledajte i preuzmite u App Storeu
