These phantom leaps make sense only with ingrown justifications that, by the year, have less and less to do with developments in psychology, biology or genetics.
While negative control cells did not show any signal, the Cell Sense phantom showed its characteristic 19F peak.
Non-localised single-pulse 19F-MRS sequences (Block pulse centered at 209 MHz with 14 kHz bandwidth, FA 90°, TR 20 s, 100 excitations, total acquisition time 33 min) were acquired on Cell Sense-labelled cells, Cell Sense phantom and cell negative control to ensure the detectability of each sample.
Sensing phantom phone vibrations is a strangely common experience.
For once, we would have some of the old-fashioned, forward-facing narrative interest that was stymied with The Phantom Menace, and our sense of having grown old with the movies will now fit, and make sense.
