At the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, lots of our research relies on volunteers visiting the Centre for scans.

In Understanding MRI, we worked alongside study participants to address their biggest questions and alleviate anxieties surrounding going for an MRI brain scan.

This project was a collaboration between researchers, research volunteers, technicians, an illustrator, and the Centre’s Public Engagement team, to co-produce an animation which answered volunteers’ most popular question: what is functional MRI?
