What happens if you wear a bra in an MRI?

The clasps on the back of a regular bra are not a problem, but avoid wearing bras that have metal parts on the straps. Avoid wearing mascara (can contain metal flakes), hair gel and wet hair. Water in hair can throw off magnet signal.

Guidelines for participating in fMRI experiments

Here are some general guidelines for your upcoming fMRI scanning session. Please read it carefully and follow the guidelines. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The day of the scan:

If applicable, remember to wear contact lenses instead of glasses.

Do not drink excessive amounts of liquid, especially caffeine (a diuretic — an fMRI session seems much longer with a full bladder!). Do not wear any shirts with metal around the head (e.g., pullovers with zippers). Metal buttons and zippers on pants are okay.

Do not use any hairclips and be prepared to remove jewellery.

For women, if possible, do not wear an underwire bra (the metal can throw off the magnetic field). Sports bras are usually good and we have hospital gowns to change into if necessary. The clasps on the back of a regular bra are not a problem, but avoid wearing bras that have metal parts on the straps. Avoid wearing mascara (can contain metal flakes), hair gel and wet hair. Water in hair can throw off magnet signal. Make sure you know where you are going to meet the experimenter and what time you are expected to show up. For a map of Dept. of Radiology see here. If you drive, you can park in Lot 100, right next to the Radiology building (take a ticket to enter the gate). We will issue you a parking validation at the end of the experiment so you don’t need to pay for parking. Scanning on a MRI machine costs a lot of money ($550/hr). Every minute counts, so please show up on time. If anything comes up such that you cannot make your scheduled time, notify the experimenter as soon as possible. If we cancel well in advance we can avoid to be charged. Please be considerate.

While in the magnet:

Do hairy legs mean high testosterone?

We know that at least some of the genes for hairiness are carried on the X chromosome – and the way these genes are expressed varies between different men and ethnic groups – but hairiness also correlates with high testosterone levels.

Like so many things, it comes down to a mixture of genetics and hormones. We know that at least some of the genes for hairiness are carried on the X chromosome – and the way these genes are expressed varies between different men and ethnic groups – but hairiness also correlates with high testosterone levels. Male hairiness may in fact have evolved as a way of signalling testosterone levels to potential mates, because testosterone also makes men develop more muscle. So it’s possible that your boyfriend’s hairiness was one of the things that attracted you to him, as you subconsciously sought out a partner who could take down a woolly mammoth.
