~ 3 min read. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, is a technique for measuring brain activity. It works by detecting the changes in blood oxygenation and flow that occur in response to neural activity â when a brain area is more active it consumes more oxygen and to meet this increased demand blood flow increases to the active area.
The first documented appearance of a kazoo was that created by an American inventor, Warren Herbert Frost, who named his new musical instrument kazoo in his patent #270,543 issued on January 9, 1883. The patent states, This instrument or toy, to which I propose to give the name 'kazoo' ....Frost's kazoo did not look like present-day submarine-shaped kazoos. The modern kazooâalso the first one made of metalâwas patented by George D. Smith of Buffalo, New York, May 27, 1902.he kazoo is used regularly on the radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and kazoos are given to all audience members on show tours. The video game Yoshi's New Island, released in 2014, has synthesized kazoos in several tracks of its soundtrack.
