Researchers hope the high precision will shed more light on our minds and illnesses.

Over the past few months, around 20 healthy volunteers have become the first to enter the maw of the MRI machine.

“We have seen a level of precision never reached before at CEA,” said Dr Alexandre Vignaud, a physicist working on the project. “With this machine, we can see the tiny vessels which feed the cerebral cortex, or details of the cerebellum which were almost invisible until now,” he said. One of the main goals of such a powerful scanner is to refine our understanding of the anatomy of the brain and which areas are activated when it carries out particular tasks.
