About

Brain Imaging Essentials is an educational project launched by the students of the La Piana lab aiming to make brain MRIs more accessible for students around the world!

We've created simple, digestible content that will help learners develop a basic understanding of the clinical and research relevance of different kinds of neuroimaging, as well as an approach to brain MRI.
