How the brain recognizes faces
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain processes faces. It will help researchers understand face recognition better and may lead to improved treatments for conditions where face recognition is impaired.

This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
This is a study that tests new ways to use MRI (a body scan that uses magnets) using healthy volunteers. It helps researchers improve scanning methods, which may make future scans safer or clearer.
This study uses brain scans to learn how different parts of the brain connect and communicate in healthy people. If you join, you will help researchers better understand normal brain function.
This study looks at how your brain works when you use tools, using brain scans and questionnaires. It mainly seeks healthy adults who can safely do MRI and answer questions.
This study looks at how your brain's electrical activity relates to its structure using safe, non-invasive techniques (TMS, EEG, and MRI). It's a chance to learn more about how the healthy brain works, and you'll be asked to have brain scans and a mild stimulation session.
This study uses brain stimulation and brain imaging (MRI) along with vision tests to understand how the brain supports seeing. You might be eligible if you are a healthy adult and can safely complete MRI and stimulation tasks.
