			*** There are four demonstrations of success I think are compelling. Demonstrations of success with synthetic data may be intermediate, but to finish the dissertation I think the following is required:
			***# Demonstrate (by pictures) specific challenging regions in which the multi-scale approach reconstructs structures better than two competitors.
			***# Demonstrate (numerically) that image reconstruction, as measured by chi-squared goodness-of-fit, is better than two competitors.
			***# Demonstrate (in prose, or maybe with a quick user study) that selection tasks for specific brain structures are easier and more precise than with ROI+tractography methods.
