# Key Points from IRC Log

• FourFire inquired about the resolution of non-invasive brain scanning technology, specifically asking how far current technology is from being able to build a connectome, noting that CT scanners have approximately 0.2mm resolution while the smallest axons are around 1μm.

• Kanzure mentioned participating in the next human genome synthesis project meeting, indicating ongoing work in synthetic genomics.

• A significant discussion occurred around open-source ultrasound imaging technology, particularly the Murgen project (https://github.com/kelu124/murgen-dev-kit), which is developing affordable ultrasound hardware with potential applications in medical imaging.

• Participants discussed potential improvements to the Murgen ultrasound project, including upgrading the analog front end, enhancing image decoding, and adding Doppler or 3D functionality rather than duplicating existing work.

• Kanzure mentioned long-term applications of ultrasound technology including non-invasive brain stimulation and tumor removal, suggesting broader medical applications beyond basic imaging.

• A brief discussion about RFID/NFC implants occurred, noting that Toorcamp (a hacker camp) would have an implant station, though participants questioned the practical value of such implants.
