The laboratory equipment

The center houses a wide variety of tools for the researchers’ use. These instruments are among the most advanced in the industry and are designed to facilitate ground-breaking research initiatives and deliver professional, high-quality outcomes.

- Boasting 80/200 gradients, this scanner enables brain scanning at the highest resolutions. The system offers unparalleled two- and three-dimensional spatial imaging and dynamic imaging (with temporal resolution). Combining superior homogeneity with high capabilities, it facilitates the use of advanced research methods for both anatomical and functional imaging, spectroscopic sampling, and multiparametric quantitative analysis. The scanner offers a window into the healthy, intact, and functioning brain without posing risks to the subjects, without radiation or side effects. Its capabilities provide answers to many diverse research questions.
