To do this, scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital used the most modern and powerful brain layer scanner to scan every corner of the brain for 1,200 participants in 10-45 minutes. The energy used to run the magnet in the scanner is up to 22MW, so the image gives details, clear to each nerve fiber.

This map is part of a project called HCP funded by the US National Institutes of Health with a total cost of 40 million USD. Communication assesses this work to be as scientific as the human genetic mapping project (HGP), which helps us understand how the brain works - one of the most complex and important organs of human.

The human brain map will shed light on why people are good at natural subjects, others are interested in music and art.
