The images/animations in this page are fantastic at visually explaining something quite complicated. I would not have been able to understand the difficulty without them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is this the most cost-effective way to achieve the desired outcome?

We don't know. But it's the most fun!

Does the prize include a PhD? /s Because, this sounds like a dissertation-level project, and that prize money is less than the cost of supporting a grad student, or a post doc for a couple of years. That said, I think this is soo freaking cool.

Credit for those goes to Jonny Hyman, who also does animations for Veritasium, Dejan Gotić, who did the fancy 3d animations, and JP Posma, who directed the entire project!

I do a lot of brain image segmentation in my research using multiatlas image segmentation, which involves diffeomorphic image registration from multiple labeled atlases...but the amount of curling in on itself of these layered sheets seems a daunting problem for a fully automated pipeline.
