| Abstract: | This article reports that Timothy Rowe and his colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin have pioneered the use of high-powered computed tomography scans to image the brains of fossilised animals. Between their two machines they have up to five times the power of an average medical scanner, and the resolution to pick out details on the 5-micrometre scale. This technology has allowed them to probe the senses of some infamous dinosaurs, to get new insights into intimate details of their lives such as their hearing, sense of smell and balance. |
