Squeezing two people into an MRI machine, and deciding between what ’s reasonable and what’s rational
Getting into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine can be a tight fit for just one person. Now, researchers interested in studying face-to-face interactions are attempting to squeeze a whole other person into the same tube, while taking functional MRI (fMRI) measurements. Staff news writer Kelly Servick joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the kinds of questions simultaneous fMRIs might answer.  Also this week, Sarah talks with Igor Grossman, the director of the Wisdom and Culture Lab at the University of Waterloo, about his group’s Science Advances paper on public perceptions of the difference between so...

"Perceptible Difference" -- The Discovery Files
Results of a new study involving macaque monkeys suggest that speech and music might have shaped the human brain's hearing circuits. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers monitored the brain activity of macaques and healthy human volunteers and how it responded to harmonic sounds, or tones. Humans were more sensitive to pitch, a key component of speech and music, than were the macaques. (Source: The Discovery Files)
