About this event


How can we use advanced computers and magnets to take pictures of your brain while you are comfortably laying down ? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines use powerful computers and newer machine learning methods to do just that! It may seem like magic but in Dr. Noseworthy’s presentation, he will show you the secrets behind how this can all happen.


Ages: 7–14 (whole family welcome)
