    Pretty cool use of MRIs and AI (machine learning to unroll them and read the letters).

    Similar (or the same?) tech has been used to read the Dead Sea Scrolls.

    Turn the playback speed down to 0.75 and you won’t need to drink more coffee first.

      Haha. Yeah, I found it a bit too fast as well. Setting it to 75-80% playback speed worked well.
