MR Techniques in Brain Function

Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and BehaviourThe group ‘MR techniques in brain function’ at the Donders Institute for Brain Behaviour and Cognition at the Radboud University in Nijmegen concentrates on MR methods development for cognitive neuroimaging. Our methodological activities concentrate on the development of techniques for the measurement of laminar fMRI in human subjects, on methods for accelerated data acquisition, including simultaneous multi-slice imaging approaches, investigating the fundamental magnetic properties of brain tissue, and GABA spectroscopy. We are also active in the fields of, angiography, multi-echo fMRI data acquisition, simultaneous EEG/fMRI, and BOLD biophysics.

We also investigate, develop, improve and make available the best data analysis methods for multi-channel electrophysiology signals, including MEG, EEG, LFP with the specific goal to localize and characterize the underlying sources of these signals and asses their network relationships.
