I participated in a research study. Here's what it was like.

Описание: At some point, you've probably seen signs calling for research study participants. But did you ever take a stub and call the number? What does that even look like? It can be a scary thing to hop into a study as a participant. But it turns out that it ain't so bad! Alie recently helped out two of her colleagues with a pilot study and took the opportunity to talk about her experience in an fMRI machine.

Special shoutout to Maggie and Steph for being so willing to help us out with this video. Also to Brian from Adventure Science (   / Канал  ) for helping out with filming. We couldn't have made this without you guys!!

Check out our video on Tom Scott's channel about how fMRI works:    • I Got To See And Hold My Brain
