Brain Maps - Here are some of the data samples taken from the Intrinsic Imaging experiment on the second mouse I've ever head-framed and experimented on. The two black and white ones on the far left show the blood vessels in the mouse's skull and brain. The two in the middle show data for the mouse brain's response to visual stimuli running horizontally/azimuth-wise on the screen. The two to the left show data for the mouse brain's response to visual stimuli running vertically/altitude-wise on the screen. The white curvy lines on the three pictures on the bottom represent the computer's estimated analyzation of where it thinks each area of the visual cortex is, based off of the brain activity data it received. However with this one, you can tell where the visual cortex is by just looking at the color maps, because right where the visual cortex is, you can see an almost complete rainbow pattern (which is good, because each color of the rainbow represents a point in the mouse's visual space. For example, red represents what was seen by the mouse more towards its nose, and purple represents what was seen more towards its temporal area/ear.)
