Acquisition of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging System for Research on the Neural Basis of Human Cognition
Abstract
From August 15, 2001 through August 14, 2002 a facility for housing the 3T fMRI unit was constructed; the 3T MRI unit installed; and the essential accessory items (stimulus/response computers, digital projection system, eye-tracking system, auditory system) integrated into the MRI system and made operational and initial. High quality human and non-human subject data have been obtained. From August 2002 through August 2003, the BBMI researchers began to put together the complex story of how networks are developed in areas ranging from auditory perception to cognitive control. They studied the neural anatomy of humans, using electrical recordings to explore the time course and connectivity of the network. They also conducted cellular studies of primates and other mammals. From August 2003 through August 2004 we inaugurated our new Center for Mammalian Genetics and recruited new faculty members in that field and in Cognitive Neuroscience. Results from our group were featured in Science, Nature and Neuron. We have continued our progress in the Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience and neuroinformatics and the development of our infrastructure for proteomics and genomics.
