Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging Hub: Advancing our understanding of brain development by supporting investigators with resources to ensure high rigor and innovation in neuroimaging for development neuroscience research

Our Expertise
We are experts in state-of-the-art approaches in image acquisition, experimental design, preprocessing, data analysis, and flexible data sharing.
We foster collaboration within and across institutions to build teams with the highest possible degree of expertise. Ultimately, we seek to better understand the neural basis of cognition, emotion, and perception, discovering interactions between the brain, behavior, and the environment that shape changes throughout typical and atypical development.

Resources for Investigators
Siemens 3T Prisma Fit whole body MRI Scanner
The MIDB houses a Siemens 3T Prisma Fit whole body MRI scanner installed in 2021. The scanner is equipped with XR 80/200 gradient system with parallel transmit capabilities. A 64ch head/neck coil, 32ch head coil, 20ch head coil, and 16ch pediatric coils are available for use. See the installation video here.

Rates and Support
Specialized Training and Support
Neuroimaging Specialist - $103.36 per hour
Imaging Technician - $79.14 per hour
For projects that need more support than the CMRR provided training and the basic study onboarding, yet do not require sustained support throughout a long-term period, Imaging Hub staff are available to provide additional training and support at an hourly rate. Specifically, this rate can be used for protocol and task development, data transfer infrastructure set up and training, or training in advanced imaging techniques.
- Use case: Design, build, test, and implement a new or modified task paradigm for your research study. (8-10 hours of a Neuroimaging Specialist)
- Use case: Set up data transfer infrastructure, with accompanying SOP, for the research study and train staff on best practices for execution. (3-5 hours of an Imaging Technician)
*Please note that these services differ from those offered by booking techs through CMRR. Specifically, these services are done outside of scan time. To have a tech present at scans, please utilize the CMRR ISO.
