Frizz

So what happened. First of all she had a psychology test where I think she had to describe the meaning of words and other such things (maybe she’ll write something in the comments?), and then the brain scan - she has a very classical brain - very symmetrical and her powers of staying still were awesome. The Scientists used an MRI to scan her brain, which is not a particularly nice experience, it’s very noisy and she had to think and respond to questions on a screen at the same time. She did great.

I had a strange experience because an MRI is actually a huge magnet, which attracts metal, so my braces reacted to it and my teeth started aching. I did wonder if I stayed for long enough, if it would speed up the Ortho process? Too achy though, so I watched for a bit and then went out of the restricted area.

When the scan was completed The Niece was able to see her brain as though she were entering inside it. She could see all the different areas of the face; the nose, the eye sockets, the mouth and then the teeth and the optic nerve and then through the brain to the spinal column. Fascinating. She stayed a little while to watch how it worked from the other side, whilst the next person was scanned before we went on our way… which was to the British Museum, well we were passing. I showed her the old Reading Room and then she chose to go to the Asian section, which was apt as she’s doing Buddhism for GCSE.

Then we went here for some food and then she couldn’t wait to go home. A big thank you to The Nephew for picking her up from the station.
