NOTICE!!! The address for pages belonging to the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre is now http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/. Eventually, the current address (http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/) will be used for the entire Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, of which the Brain Imaging Centre is one research unit. Please update your links accordingly.
The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) is one of the largest scientific communities in North America dedicated solely to research imaging of the human brain. It consists of a core group of 10 researchers conducting independent research with high technology brain scanners and sophisticated computational analysis. The program emphasizes quantitative 3-D investigation of brain structure and function. Brain structure is imaged using anatomical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (aMRI) while brain physiology is imaged using Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) or functional MRI (fMRI). This environment emphasizes the combination of data from the different scanners for interactive multi-modality image analysis. The BIC maintains strong and rapidly developing linkages with the clinical, clinical research and basic research communities within the Institute and has developed collaborations with other McGill researchers in biochemistry, physiology, computer science, mathematics, electrical and biomedical engineering.
