Can your hair type really prevent you from participating in neuroimaging research? In this episode, Beverley Isibor sits down with Dwaynica Greaves, a PhD candidate at UCL, to unpack the scope of a research study funded by the Centre for Equality Research in Brain Sciences. Along with the research team, Antonia Hamilton and Isla Jones, Dwaynica discusses how hair types and styles can impact participation. Additionally, they explore why accessibility in research matters, the biases in scientific equipment, and what can be done to make neuroimaging research more inclusive.
