Interested in signing up for our functional MRI studies?

The MRI scanner creates a strong magnetic field around your body to measure and localize changes in blood flow in your brain. Before you participate in a study using MRI, we must know if you have any metal in your body. Metal may interfere with MR imaging and could be hazardous to you. There are additional restrictions for participation in an MRI study such as claustrophobia, history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, etc.

In order to participate in our fMRI studies fill out and submit this screening form. If you qualify, one of our researchers will contact you to schedule an appointment

On your scan day:

- Be sure to wear contacts and not glasses if you have them.
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to your appointment. There will be a bit of paperwork to fill out.
- Wear light loose fitting clothes. You will be in the scanner for approximately an hour, so you should be comfortable.

The MRI scanner is located at the Center for Functional Onco-Imaging in Irvine Hall at the Health Sciences part of the UC Irvine campus. The scanner is located in a trailer that is directly acros from Irvine Hall (Bldg 835).
