Tomorrow I’m going to have an MRI taken of my head for a speech production experiment. I’ll get a picture of my brain, and will apparently be given time at the end to say whatever I want and have a movie made of it, like the ones on the left side here. USC is one of the few places (the only place?) that are currently able to make such videos; it’s pretty cool.
Anyway, the question is: what should I say in the video?
