What is MRI? 
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. It is a FDA approved non-invasive medical imaging device we use to look at the human brain’s structure and physiology. MRI uses powerful magnets to create images of the human brain. If you participate in the study you will be asked to lie still inside the scanner and complete cognitive tasks.
