That does sound really cool! They don't do animal experiments, so I'm not sure that would go down well. I will look into it though, thanks!

I was thinking about this too. I will email to ask if I can access raw data. I was looking at learning a new coding language this summer, so I might as well learn one that I can use in this project - which would you suggest?

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking to do, but I'm pretty sure they won't allow me to put metal in the multimillion-dollar machine :( the metal plate sounds interesting, but even that I don't think they'll be okay with, even if it's non-magnetic

More physics related would be great! But I'm open to all suggestions :)

I'm not sure what's going to happen/what they'll allow me to do, but they probably won't let me use the machine directly, so hopefully there's not much I can do to break it ahah. What kind of experiments did you do?

It's independent - just looking for something to make my summers at uni worthwhile. I have met with the person in charge, and he has agreed to supervise me, but he is a doctor and so his ideas were more medical (like investigating the depth of different tissues). While this is still interesting...

I totally agree and I have asked about the specs/capabilities but they haven't gotten back to me yet, so I was hoping to get a vague idea of a project before asking again. I know the company which the hospital uses for the MRI but I can't seem to find the actual specs of the machine. I'm open to...

Haha yeah, I didn't exactly request the MRI officially, more of an it's-who-you-know situation. I'm not entirely sure what they'll allow me to do with it, but I'm on very good terms with the chairman of the board and it's a private hospital so I'll have a fair amount of freedom, I think.

So I've stumbled upon a really cool opportunity this summer, where I basically have a hospital which has agreed to let me do an experiment using their 3T MRI machine. I'm a physics undergrad and I want to do a physics experiment using the MRI, but I have absolutely no idea what to do. I've tried...
