Brain Imaging

At the MIT Martinos Imaging Center, the advancement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology and brain research proceed hand-in-hand, focusing on topics such as how memories are developed in childhood, and what happens in the brain when we make moral judgments.

Using the red telephone on display, museum visitors may sign up to participate in research at the Martinos Imaging Center.
