Was placed in the middle of this noisy gigantic machine, which carried out the scan while I performed various tasks like trying to match faces, and rooms. Had ear plugs on, and I was communicating with the person conducting the experiment through a headphone, and had a frame to immobilise my head, the frame had a mirror so that I could see the computer screen behind me, and was surrounded by this white chamber. The entire experience felt really out of this world.
Thought I had a taste of what astronauts living in the ISS experienced.
And at the end, I was given a picture of my brain, and paid 20 pounds! So it's very worthwhile!
