...Neuroimaging Facility at the Center for Brain Science has been in planning since the beginning of the decade. The space for the MRI was completed last semester—following the entire Center’s move into the Northwest Labs in July—and except for a few small parts, the MRI was ready by the end of January, according to Psychology Professor Randy L.

Buckner will be one of the first researchers to use the scanner, observing how one’s memory systems can predict what one will do in the future. His subjects will navigate through a virtual environment, while under observation by the MRI...
...weeks, when the last of the equipment arrives, the MRI will mark the beginning of a new era in neuroimaging research at Harvard...
