How did you assemble the STL? Freesurfer?
I had some MRIs done about a year ago that included the brain and I got so/so results out of Freesurfer. You could tell it was a brain but it still looked a little janky. Yours looks great, though!
Thanks! I used InVesalius for creating the STL of my entire head, and I used Autodesk Meshmixer to isolate my brain from all the other pieces of my head. There are better ways to do it though, I think.
cool - I’ll try to run my images through InVesalius instead. Thanks for inspiring me to give this another shot!
Love the idea, I always thought of doing the same with my skull since I worked with MRI files and could probably export the file. However I never did an MRI of my head.
They should let you have the files. You paid… dearly for them.
Where is my mind…
What file format did they provide?
Nice! I did the same, but I did it on my resin printer so the full 1:1 wouldn’t fit. I ended up doing a 1/4th scale…I call him mini me lol.
Would be fun to print the brain of a friend, and compare folds 🧠🧠
Funny, I always pictured the brain a bit bigger. Maybe due to TV series and such and because I couldn’t really judge what the size would be based on the head.
It sparked a controversial question in my mind, does a bigger brain make you smarter (so big headed people could be smarter). One page I came across (which looked at least a little legit) was this: Stanford Ask a neuroscientistI used to think the same, until I read somewhere that our brain is pretty much the size of our two fists if we put them palm-to-palm. Looking at my own hands that way is a great reminder.
Shit, I have a pea for a brain then. And yes, of course I tried it. Funny to know and indeed a great reminder.
It’s good to have a spare I guess. LOL
Now post a photo of it in the gutter!
How thoughful of them!
That’s amazing! You should’ve scaled it to 110% and then shown it to your family xD
Wild! I love this!
Would be an interesting art piece for a bookshelf or something. Maybe make a little stand for it, too!
Wow. It’s insane seeing the “you” next to you.
That is pretry amazing, and what a unique self portrait. Almost in the truest sense.
