Researchers with less experience in functional Imaging and the associated technologies are encouraged to contact the manager of the Center.  The Center is organized to provide information and training to support the development of functional imaging research plans to all interested researchers.  The Center is dedicated to fostering collaborative partnerships between interested scientists with varied expertise in brain research. 

For researchers new to functional imaging, a meeting will be arranged between the potential applicants and facility staff to formulate a research and training program to match their individual needs.  If appropriate, collaborative arrangements can be made with faculty staff and/or interested scientists to assist in the preparation of human IRB protocols and experimental design.
