Watch a brain being sliced like deli meat LIVEFollow

Only valid for the next 45 hours or so.

FOR SCIENCE!

The brain in question is that of HM, the famous patient who lost his memory from a flubbed lobotomy. He donated his brain to science, and he died last year. Now they are slicing it up so that it can be stained and studied for years to come.

And in an effort to raise money, they are streaming it LIVE. OMG IT'S A BRAIN! On . . . what appears to be some sort of icy plastic. Smiley: lol

I'm looking but it doesn't seem to help. Maybe I need a bigger mirror?

LOL, this is why you shouldn't let people watch you while you work. The chick with the paintbrush looking thing just tried to poke another guy in the face with it. Standard operating procedure for this type of project, I'm sure.

Someone with purple nitrile gloves keeps adjusting the lab camera.

Is HM the one that they performed the repetitive muscle memory tests on? I seem to recall a dot and a turntable or something.

Is this when people spam "shoe on head" or requests to see breasts?

It reminds me of slicing ham or turkey at the deli.

I was trying to figure out what the frozen block is made out of. The best I got was that it's a solution of 10% gelatin. So is it frozen brain flavored jello?
