Osciallations

This is a small collaborative project together with Matif Klang, whom you can hear playing the saxophone in the short clip.

Oscillations are the repetitive variation of a measure about a central value. As such, they can be found almost anywhere from as muscial intrument to spin of a particle. In scans of the human brain, we exploit oscillations in the magnetic fields to manipulate the spin of Hydrogen nuclei to create an image. In instruments, the oscillation of material is what creates the soundwaves that we hear as tones. The idea of this project was to create a visalization of oscillations that we encounter in our lifes and to illustrate their hidden beauty.

The original image, displaying an MRI image of my brain, was acquired by Alex Smith as part of a study on quantative magnetization transfer, for which I redirived a more accurate signal equation during my master studies (more details can be found in our publication).

I plan on adding a bit of code and equations to provide more context to this project in the future.
