So what is today's picture ?

First of all it is not a psychadelic jellyfish, and it isn't a group of swarming sentinels from "The Matrix" movie either.

It's actually some computer mapping imagery of the human brain.

The reason I chose this picture, was to get you in the mood for this interesting "Brain Test" that a student administered to me recently.

Yes we need a lots of these brain cells functioning in a healthy manner on a daily basis. (Again a marvelous computer image of our human biology).

So get those synapses a snapping, brain cells a buzzing, chess moves mastered, and Sudoku skills sharpened, because we all need to build up some extra brain power.

Enjoy,
