No ping? I just found a blurb in my paper and was going to ping you on this. DARPA and NIH have been working in fMRI research.

IIRC, I posted enough fMRI stories at the time. I thought I was beating a dead horse by adding another link about fMRI to a ping. But since it's been a little while, and you linked some new stories, why not?
