Research topics

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit is part of the Clinical School of the University of Cambridge, and a leading research centre for advancing understanding of human cognition such as memory, attention, perception, language and emotion. Our research is organised into over a dozen programmes funded by the MRC. The MEG lab is used by a range of external projects. The Unit also hosts projects supported by other funders in relevant fields. The openly accessible CBU Wiki pages provide a wealth of information on neuroimaging data analysis.

EEG/MEG are an essential part of the large-scale collaborative Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (CamCAN).

Research facilities and equipment

The CBU houses an Elekta Neuromag Triux Neo EEG/MEG system (306 MEG channels, 64 EEG channels). We routinely record MEG in combination with 64-channel EEG. The MEG lab is equipped with an SR EyeLink eye-tracker. The CBU has a Siemens Prisma Fit 3T scanner on-site. The CBU is a stakeholder in a Siemens 7T Terra fMRI scanner at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. We also own a separate 128-channel Brain Products BrainAmp EEG system, an fMRI-compatible Geodesics EEG system, a DuoMag XT-100 TMS system and a MagPro XP MRI-compatible TMS system.

Our MEG Wiki pages provide more detailed information about our facilities.

Location
