Directions to Robarts
To get to the University of Western Ontario campus, view a map of London showing Western and the parking lot locations.
Scans take place in the Robarts Research Institute (RRI) Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping (CFMM) 3-Tesla magnet.
The experimenter should arrange a place and time to meet. Two common meeting places are the main and side doors to the institute (seen in the picture below). To get there from campus, go to the main bus loop (in front of Natural Sciences) and take the outdoor stairs going down between Health Sciences and Natural Sciences/Taylor Library. Once you are at the bottom of the stairs, you will see the main entrance to the John P. Robarts Research Institute straight ahead. You can also see Map B here.

Robarts Research Institute is a secure building, all outside doors are locked and require key card access. You will need to have arranged to meet someone who can let you in or, during working hours, to have the guard at the main entrance phone the experimenters to validate your entry.

The Digital Brain Project aims to study the brain in a way that more closely mimics real-world complexity – by putting people inside an fMRI scanner and having them play video games and perform a large battery of cognitive tasks. Read the full article from Western News.
