Neuroimaging Core

The Neuroimaging Core in the Psychology Department is designed to support training, use, and analysis of a variety of structural and functional neural imaging techniques. The core houses workstations and software for neuroimaging analyses, cellular imaging, and microscopy. The core also provides access to near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a high-density electroencephalogram (EEG), confocal microscopy, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (Renown Health), and a small animal magnetic resonance imager (MRI) (UC Davis).
