There is always a first time. I am an 'Invited Speaker'. It’s my first time. It never happened to me that somebody would ask: Giulio, would you like to talk? Or: Giulio, please keep talking. As far as I remember, I’ve been alwyas invited to shut up (mostly in a cordial way). Anyway, this time I have been invited to talk in a conference. The topic is: ‘MRI and PAIN, past and future’. What do I know about MRI? I studied some of it. What do I know about PAIN? Well, I was in the 53 Brentwood Mansion for many years…
