This is what the hundreds of muscles in our lips, tongue and jaw look like as they work together to produce sound. To image how we sing, researchers from the University of Illinois used a Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI machine. It uses a powerful magnetic field to detect small changes in how much energy your different body parts emit. It’s just one way science can see into your brain. While MRI can look at your brain structure, fMRI - functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging - can measure activity within your brain. It can detect which parts of your brain have an increased blood flow and are using more oxygen – the idea is those parts of your brain are more active. And we’ve done some pretty weird things inside fMRI machines. In one study, par...
