iPad App Offers Detailed Images of Einstein's Brain

puddingebola writes in with news of a new app that might be of interest to those studying Einstein's brain, or just looking for something neat for Halloween. "Albert Einstein's brain, that revolutionized physics, can now be downloaded as an iPad app for USD 9.99.

The exclusive application, which has been just launched, promises to make detailed images of Einstein's brain more accessible to scientists than ever before.

The funding to scan and digitize nearly 350 fragile and priceless slides made from slices of Einstein's brain after his death in 1955 were given to a medical museum under development in Chicago, website 'Independent.ie' reported.

The application will allow researchers and novices to peer into the eccentric Nobel winner's brain as if they were looking through a microscope.

'I can't wait to find out what they'll discover,' Steve Landers, a consultant for the National Museum of Health and Medicine Chicago, who designed the app, was quoted as saying by 'Press Association.'"
