Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle):
Center for Integrative Neuroscience Resources
The Center for Integrative Neuroscience (an NIH NIGMS COBRE) provides access to a wide range of state-ofthe-art neuroimaging resources for investigators, including equipment, training and technical support, image
analysis software, and access to special patient populations. These facilities are available to all campus
investigators and are housed in core facilities located close to the labs of users. There are no costs for the use
of the facilities with the exception of hourly scanning charges (currently $750/hr) for fMRI. The cores include
the following resources:
Neuroimaging Core (located in the Psychology Department):
• 32-channel laser near-infrared spectroscopy system (TechEn)
• 256-channel NetAmps300 High Density EEG system (Electrogeodesics Inc.)
• 3D Photogrammetry System (Electrogeodesics Inc.) for electrode registration
• 2 Apple Mac Pro Workstations for HD-EEG acquisition and sensor registration
• Apple Mac Mini Workstation for stimulus presentation
• 8-channel Digital to Analog converter + 1 photodiode for high resolution timing verification
Confocal Microscopy Lab (located in the Biology Department)
• TCS SP8 confocal microscope system (Leica)
• Volocity 3D analysis software
Neuroimaging Computer Lab (located in the Psychology Department)
• 8 Apple iMac Workstations
• 3 Dell PC’s
• Software and support for neuroimaging data analysis including AFNI, BrainVoyager, Matlab
fMRI facility (located at Renown Health Center, 10 minutes from campus)
• 3-Tesla Philips Ingenia System (Philips Medical Systems; software version 4.1.1)
• 32-channel digital SENSE head coil
• SensaVue visual projection system (Invivo, Inc.)
• MR compliant earphones (Sensimetrics S14)
• MR-compatible fiber-optic response boxes (Cedrus Inc.), connected via fiber optic cable to an optoelectronic
Lumina (Cedrus Inc.) controller unit
Special Populations Database
• Participant recruitment tool for individuals with characterized neurological or sensory impairments or matched
controls (housed in a searchable HIPAA-compliant REDCAP database)
• Personnel support for recruiting special populations
• Wide battery of cognitive and sensory assessments
