A 2006 calendar, titled Big Brains on Campus, from the University of Illinois' Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology shows MRI scans of the brains of dozens of really smart people who work or study at the school's Urbana-Champaign campus, including Nobel Prize winner Tony Leggett, a physics professor. The idea behind the calendar was to draw attention to Beckman's innovative studies in intelligence, computers, nanotechnology - and biomedical imaging, too, of course. (Their Biomedical Imaging Center performed the scans in the calendar.)
Finally, buff brains get their due! ;)
The calendars are $14.95 and are available online here.
