‘Three-dimensional (3D) information plays an important part in medical education. Appreciating complex 3D spatial relationships requires a strong foundational understanding of anatomy and mental 3D visualization skills. Novel learning resources have been introduced to anatomy training to achieve this. Objective evaluation of their comparative efficacies remains scarce in the literature. This study hypothesized that the newly developed physical model would be more effective for students to learn magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) anatomy than textbooks or computer-based 3D models. Third year medicine students were randomly assigned to one of three teaching aid groups (physical model; textbooks; 3D computer model). The comparative efficacies of the three teaching aids were assessed through students’ abilities to identify anatomical structures on MR images. Overall mean MRI assessment scores were significantly higher in students utilizing the physical model (86.39%) compared with students using textbooks (62.61%) and the 3D computer model (63.68%), with no significant difference between the textbook and 3D computer model groups. Student feedback was also more positive in the physical model group compared with both the textbook and 3D computer model groups. Our results suggest that physical models may hold a significant advantage over alternative learning resources in enhancing visuospatial and 3D understanding of complex anatomical architecture, and that 3D computer models have significant limitations with regards to 3D learning.’ — American Association of Anatomists.

p.s. Hey. ** Adem Berbic, It’s a power that does a pretty good job of erasing hierarchy. If you mean this Friday, we’re out of luck. Zac and I go to Amsterdam on Saturday morning and don’t get back until Wednesday night. Does that scupper it? Darn, if so. ** Bill, We seem to be back to normal summer weather if this morning is any indication! I’ll check out ‘Din Of Celestial Birds’, thanks. How is ‘Camp Miasma’? Very curious. ** Steve, Yes, it looks like you’re about to understand the suffering that we experienced for the past week and a half, and I’m so sorry. Everyone, New Radio not Radio episode for you! More colorfully … ‘Take off to doom folk, field recordings of humpback whales and pachinko parlors, tropicalia and much more on my latest “Radio Not Radio” show: here. This one features Gilberto Gil, Space Afrika, KOGG, Lemon Kittens, Cinder Well, Gaika, Mohamed Bouroissa, Malcolm, Sango, K-Rosif, Alewya, Boniface & LYZZA, Shannen SP & HENNYBELIT, Lido Pimienta, MXKA, Mary Halvorson & Ambrose Akinmusire, Sun Ra, EarthBall, Jake Muir, Alison Cotton, Phil Niblock/William Hooker/David Soldier/David First, Chris Watson, Lénok, Warning and Forsman.’ ** Laura, Hi! Tscherkassy rules. Heck of a dream you had there, it’s true. No idea if Evenson is into Freud. Is anyone into Freud these days? I guess probably so. I’m happy the Skull managed to so entertain you. I hope they know. Probably not. I’m sure that if ‘The Marbled Swarm’ had survived its French translation and anyone here had read it the fact checking would have been severe, but since the novel is a lie the fact checkers would have been fools. No plans to write a new book soon, no. But that’s never stopped me before. But no. Oh gosh. Maybe unstylishly unironic. xo. ** jay, Yay! The Skull read your mind. Well, actually the post is old enough that I think you were still a twinkle in the blog’s eye when they made it. Heat appears to have broken here too, but I don’t trust either the sky or my instincts regarding the sky anymore. Let’s hope. See, you have to admit that Visconti is good for something then. ** _Black_Acrylic, I would pass along your gratitude to the Skull if I still had their email address, which I … well, I suppose I do still have it somewhere. Friday the 10th, okay, soon enough. I’m sorry about Scotland. I hope the US will be joining Scotland on the kill list soon. ** laura w, Hey, hey. I’m so sorry that you’re about to get what we were so horribly stuck with. At least you have a basement. Well, my building has one but it’s stuffed with old furniture from decades of previous tenants and the heavy concrete smell would kill me. I would say their surprise is a good thing or at least thoroughly understandable. Thanks to that happily single day when Clavicular ate my feed, I know he completely crashed out here in Paris. He just seems so completely predictable and boring and deflective of meaning, I don’t get it. No, I know, about the Vuong intro to the Kristof, but maybe just maybe that’ll sell copies, at least while he’s still the thing if he still is the thing? The heat did break this morning, I think? I mean it’s summer and hardly ideal, but at least it’s normally unpleasant again. For now. Hang in there or hide out over there. ** Ferdinand, Hi. Maybe the Skull will actually have noticed that I reposted his thing and will become hellbent to devise a sequel. Not impossible, Thanks, thanks! ** Carsten, Road trip. I hope your route keeps the heat dome an aftermath. Oh, um, this week is a little rough for me, but I will technically be here only through Friday. But I have two US friends visiting who I have to attend to and show around and a bunch of stuff I need to get done for the BluRay of ‘RT’ before I go to Amsterdam, so, if it’s this week, I might be swamped. But, hey, I’m hardly the best reason to be in Paris. ** Hugo, Even great house guests will take it out of you, for sure. I hope Laura is the ideal reader and can help for you. 160 pp, not bad at all, says the author of novels often not even that long. ** HaRpEr //, Skull did good, yes. Mm, I say, yeah, err on the side of caution on the bad luck front, even though ‘bad luck’ is such a silly construct. I know who does Calamari, but I’ll keep that info to myself just in case. They’re based in Italy now, if you didn’t know. If I’m any indication, the ambition will naturally cull itself as you write and thereby find your limitations crystalising. Maybe you do that by thinking fuck intimidation? ** Okay. Today you get a post for those you who have money burning a hole in your pocket. See you tomorrow.

Is the blog entering an early-bird-gets-the-worm era, or is it just me pulling it up earlier and earlier in the morning?
Ah, damn, I think the luck evaporated in the heat — I’ll be in on Friday evening and out on Tuesday morning. Oh well, Amsterdam is your good place and Paris is my good place, so we’re still winning. I’m not sure what Zac’s good place is, but I hope it’s ready at hand.
This post raises a bundle of questions but I don’t think any of them really need answers. I’ve had the first two Carcass albums on repeat lately, and this feels like their spiritual sibling. I always thought the first album was special. Supposedly the studio tech was incompetent and bungled the mix, but to me it makes it sound like it was recorded inside a toilet bowl or something.
Hey Dennis! Eek, scary day today, wow. Sort of decently priced, although I don’t have any use for anything like this, haha. If I was more lax with my finances, I’d definitely consider getting one of these, maybe the maggoty one. Eek.
Hehe, about Visconti producing good heatwave gifs, fine, I agree. I do really like his “Leopard”, I think I’m just slightly too sensitive to the weird behind-the-scenes stuff with Death in Venice. He’s an interesting director definitely. Hope you’re well, byeee!
If I had a spare couple of grand lying around I would gladly shell out out for one of these Forensic Models. Would be a good thing to consider as an art object or similar. The social lives of these science students must be interesting to behold.
Very cool post.
Out of curiosity, have you ever seen any of the videos from this series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIcK7XT847I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Iuh3w-MmU
I feel they kind of touch on similar stuff in regards to games as God Jr does.
Ha, didn’t know forensic models were a thing. But it makes sense. I have to say I’m more impressed with the craftsmanship on the old wax medical models though.
I enjoyed Camp Miasma (so did the closing night audience, who got loud in places). It plays more with queer horror tropes, and is more accessible than its predecessors. Gillian Anderson is terrific. Schoenbrun shows again how well she works with actors. But I think Camp Miasma is conceptually less ambitious (but technically more so) than its predecessors. I liked it, but I do miss the open-ended pleasures of Schoenbrun’s earlier work.

Hey Dennis,
I’m imagining these models being wheeled out at some provincial police academy for the recruits to pore over. I guess that’s what they’re for?
I tried to go see the fog sculpture on Sunday but it was “deactivated” for the day. So I went to Palais de Tokyo instead. Saw some ok stuff but nothing that really got me going. I will attempt to see the fog again soon.
Did you see the lightning on Saturday night? I thought it was incredible… never seen anything like it. It just went on and on. One of the flashes completely whited out my vision for a few seconds. And there were so many huge forks.
I’ve been listening to some old school emo mixtapes on NTS and came across this song “Shit Twins” by a band called Dads. It reminded me of Pinback’s “Talby”, which I discovered in a list you made and became obsessed with. It’s worth a listen if you don’t already know it. Great title too.
Hope you’re enjoying that 10 degree drop!

Landed in Montélimar tonight, just a bit south of Valence, the home of nougat they say. The drive to Spain last year was more fun I’ll admit. The landscapes were still fresh & there was an excitement to propel you forward. This time I’m only doing the drive to take the pressure & strain of a long road trip off my mom’s back. But it’s showing me that I’m too crippled for this. After 4 hours the metal in my lower spine starts shooting electricity down my ass & legs. So for future road trips I need to take it easy & drive in small increments.
“I’m hardly the best reason to be in Paris”: oh but to me you’re an essential one. No, don’t sweat it dude, this was a spontaneous idea & I’m luckily quite flexible. But I avoid flying as much as I can these days & Paris isn’t a good fit for a road trip right now. So when I go this summer, I do want to make sure we get to see each other. Maybe later in July or even August.
But like I said in the first paragraph, I’m quite beat today. Yesterday’s adrenaline high made me want to check all the travel boxes, but today I just need a good night’s sleep.
Hi Dennis.
Well, I say 160 pages, but it’s actually more than 200 now that I checked. The problem is how much of it is “good” and how much of it fits the design of a novel. I guess the problem is not narrative per se, but just “heart”? I worry that too much of the work is cold and inhuman in a bad way. At the same time, I’m proud of how much of the work has its basis in consistent hallucinations. It’ll probably take some hard editing. I started writing another thing in the meantime, basically a weird “noir” novel that’s far outside my usual wheelhouse, but I wanted to write something that felt very movie-like.
I second James on the lightning btw, it was harsh up here, and a friend’s house briefly flooded. It wasn’t too bad, but still…scary. Also, that first gif reminds me of the video where Charlie Kirk got murked. Odd to think that.
