Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Building:
100 College St
About the instrument
MRI reveals the structure and function of the brain at high spatial resolution. The MRI suite is equipped with a full range of stimulus delivery and response devices and a mock scanner for pretraining and acclimation to the MRI environment.
Available to Yale researchers only
