If you've never had an MRI, they're very loud and a bit
intimidating. They give you both earplugs and
headphones
through which they play music to keep you from flipping
out.
Getting one for a weight lifting injury today (exercise is
the worst think you can do for your body) and I was
noting
how the modulation from the MRI was playing
notes that clashed with the music creating a sort of
cacophony that wasn't exactly soothing.
So have the music match the notes. It might come up
with
some interesting tunes that you could even be given a
MP3
of to take home.
The sound of the MRI is sort of a grinding thing that
would
lend itself to heavy metal more than classical. I like
heavy
metal though it might not be relaxing to some.
So maybe it would be better suited to make your MRI
more
exciting rather than more relaxing.

Originally meant to accompany drilling teeth without anesthetic. Works well. [whatrock, Mar 02 2020]
This thing sounds pretty rad already.

Absolutely brilliant.

Might work as an undercurrent to some bits of Wagner's Ring... or would go unnoticed alongside most of Stockhausen ... |
|
| |
Excellent idea. For someone with your connections, [doc],
could you get a live band to jam along with the MRI? |
|
| |
<Envisages electric guitar being dragged into MRI coil and shredded/> |
|
| |
Is it the same cacophony every time?
Perhaps it varies by procedure. |
|
| |
Anyway, assuming it's reasonably consistent for some subset, one
could engage a musician to create an accompaniment. |
|
| |
So this could just match the timings, like Handel's music for the
royal fireworks, or it could treat the MRI machine as an instrument
in itself. |
|
| |
You'd need a recording of it, either way. |
|
| |
... but probably not on magnetic media. |
|
| |
//could you get a live band to jam along with the

|
| |
You know, that's a cool idea. I'm a big fan of the
man/machine musical interface. When I was a kid I
took my dad's Altair computer and teletype
printout machine, one of those big noisy pre ink
jet plotters and wrote drumbeats on it. (I also
tried to make it draw a picture of a naked woman,
didn't turn out too well.) but the beats were solid. |
|
| |
The sounds of these things are pretty usable for
music. Stick it through a distortion program and an
octave box and you've got some gnarly bass tones.

I'm actually wondering how those headphones work in an MRI
machine. Presumably they can't have metal, or even
anything magnetic in them. Are they basically a
stethoscope?
(edit) Turns out yes. |
|

//electric guitar being dragged into MRI coil and shredded// |
|
| |
Imagines shredding on a guitar with a superconducting
magnet... |
|
| |
//could you get a live band to jam along with the MRI?// |
|
| |
...and at the end rather than smashing the guitar like
Jimmy Hendrix of Pete Townsend, just get too close to the
machine, let it do the smashing. |
|
| |
Interestingly, Heavy Metal - as long as it's non-ferrous, and doesn't exhibit dia-, para- or ferro-magnetism - is probably reasonably compatible with multi-Tesla magnetic fields ... |
|
| |
See link for the cousin of this idea. Absolutely
brilliant! |

Pffft! standing behind a grounded metal grid like wusses.
Try Arc Attack <link>, same idea, less wet. |
|
| |
Gotta put doing that on my bucket list. |
|
| |
Fine, but make sure it's the last item. |
|
| |
What we meant to write was, "It will be the last item; don't plan on doing anything else afterwards". |

Isn't a CAT louder than an MRI? I can't remember. I was zonked
on Xanax due to claustrophobia most times. |
|
| |
It depends which way round you feed the cat into the blender; tail-first can be very noisy. |
|
| |
CAT (CT) scans are pretty quiet. In essence, they're just lots
of X-rays taken at different angles by a rotating head. |
|
| |
MRIs are bangy because substantial magnetic fields are being
turned on and off. |
|
| |
Oh yeah, that's right. It's that bangy, bangy that I hate. I've
had a lot of them on my back but now my back is very
flexible and strong due to yoga. Yay. (Crosses fingers). |
|
| |
// CAT (CT) scans are pretty quiet. // |
|
| |
After the first few passes of the bacon slicer, yes. They produce beautifully clear, thin sectional images (once you wipe the blood off). |
|
| |
Hint: tape the legs to the abdomen to stop them becoming detatched too early. Also helps prevent wriggling. |
|
| |
This is a nice harmonizing idea and it may even stimulate old halfbakers, in the music industry, to comment back. |
