Our MRI is used to study many research topics including how the brain works including emotions, memory, decision making, and how these processes change with age.
Please wear comfortable clothes without metal, shiny fabric, or sparkles on the material. We will ask that you remove all piercings and jewelry. If rings are gold or silver and cannot be removed it is ok to wear them while having your MRI. In addition you will not be able to have medicated patches on your body or colored contacts in the scanner.
