The 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 brain activation in human subjects, on methods for accelerated data acquisition, investigating the fundamental magnetic properties of brain tissue, combined focused ultrasound and MRI, and developing methods of ultra-high field MRI.
