Overview of our Research Facilities

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

  

  Used by multiple users across the University, our Scanner produces detailed images of the brain using strong magnetic fields and radio waves

• Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

  

  Studies the networks engaged in the human brain and allows for continuous recordings of ongoing brain activity of human subjects performing cognitive tasks

• Electroencephalography (EEG)

  

  Evaluates the electrical activity in the brain with millisecond time resolution by tracking and recording brain wave patterns

• Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM)

  

  Developing new technology that combines Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with Optically Pumped Magnetometers

• Functional near infrared (fNIRS)

  

  Detects variations in the blood oxygenation levels of activated brain areas and provide spatial maps of where changes occur

• Sleep

  

  The sleep laboratory houses two sleeping suites and a central control room and measures brain activity during sleep using EEG methods

• Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

  

  Probes the links between brain and behaviour through increasing and decreasing excitability in targeted brain areas

• CHBH Principal Investigators
