Project H.M.
Dr. Jacopo Annese, director of the Brain Observatory at the University of San Diego, stands in front of a massive digital image rendered from a slice of brain tissue preserved on a slide. Dr. Annese and his team have carved the brain of amnesiac Henry Molaison, or “H.M.,” into 2,401 slices to be digitized and studied (Brain Observatory, 2013).
