Neuroimaging Core

项目摘要 神经影像学核心 核心B为各种神经成像模式提供设备、技术支持和培训， 包括fMRI/DTI、高密度EEG、fNIRS、多焦ERG和自适应光学，以及一系列 用于视觉和认知评估的筛查工具以及用于成像数据分析的工作站。大部分 设备被安置在神经科学COBRE套件的神经成像核心空间， 心理学，毗邻12个认知神经科学系的实验室，他们是主要用户。的fMRI 该设施是与我们的社区医院（Renown Health）的合同合作伙伴关系，包括优秀的长期 长期访问和低成本的研究扫描在他们的MRI设施。核心支持大用户- 基地和一些积极的赠款，以及该中心以前和目前的几个项目和试点 项目它提供了独特的资源，在大学是必不可少的研究计划，我们所有的 认知神经科学教师以及其他用户。在第三阶段，我们将继续扩大， 加强这些服务，包括支持试点项目计划和更广泛的神经科学 社区，并将制定业务计划和充电机制，将核心过渡到 在COBRE资助结束之前，建立一个由用户和机构支持的永久性设施。

Project Summary Neuroimaging Core Core B provides equipment, technical support and training for a wide variety of neuroimaging modalities, including fMRI/DTI, high-density EEG, fNIRS, multifocal ERG, and Adaptive Optics, as well as a range of screening tools for visual and cognitive assessments and workstations for imaging data analysis. Most of the equipment is housed in the Neuroimaging Core space in the Neuroscience COBRE suite in the Department of Psychology, adjacent to the labs of the 12 cognitive neuroscience faculty who are the primary users. The fMRI facility is a contractual partnership with our community hospital (Renown Health) and includes excellent long- term access and low cost for research scanning at both of their MRI facilities. The core supports a large user- base and a number of active grants, as well as several of the Center’s previous and current projects and pilot projects. It provides unique resources at the university that are essential to the research programs of all of our cognitive neuroscience faculty as well as additional users. In Phase III we will continue to expand and strengthen these services including supporting the Pilot Project Program and the broader neuroscience community, and will develop the business plan and recharge mechanisms that will transition the core to a permanent user- and institution-supported facility by the end of the COBRE funding.
