Research Applications

Scientific goals and capabilities of the new platform.

  • Structural Imaging

    Targeting 50-micron in-plane resolution for detailed mapping of cortical layers and subcortical structures.

  • Functional MRI (fMRI)

    Whole-brain imaging with temporal resolution < 100ms and submillimeter voxel sizes to study connectivity events.

  • Spectroscopy

    High-resolution metabolic imaging of neurotransmitters (GABA, Glutamate) and other metabolites in the living human brain.
