The implication of this is that you could scan a person using some advanced form of the technology used to perform MRI scans, and transmit that scanned information somewhere else -- using normal electrical or sound signals -- where it would then be reassembled into an approximation of the original.
Results of the scans were calibrated using accepted norms for retinal fiber thickness and then compared to an MRI of each of the patient's brains - also calibrated using accepted norms.
