OurBrainsCAN: Western University's Cognitive Neuroscience Research Registry
OurBrainsCAN is a registry of individuals interested in participating in health-related research at Western University. Together we can work to understand how we think, learn, move and communicate in order to reduce the burden of brain disorders. Volunteers are key partners in this research: without you, this essential work can not happen!
