Ever Wonder How Our Brains Change as We Grow Up?
This is a two-part study. The first part involves coming to Penn for an MRI. The MRI machine takes pictures of the brain using a radiation-free magnet. Prior to the real scan, we will demonstrate to your child how the scanner works using our pretend MRI machine (shown above and left). The MRI visit will take 2 hours and you can earn up to $80 along with $20 towards your transportation costs. After the MRI visit, your child may be asked to participate in 10 science lessons over Zoom.
