Magnetic Resonance Imaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CiNet houses three 3T magnets and one 7T magnet for human structural, functional and spectroscopic MRI. There are state-of-the-art experimental stimulation and physiological monitoring systems, real-time analysis and online neurofeedback, and a team of engineers to help design and implement new systems and technologies. We have an 11.7T small animal magnet, and an integrated fMRI-PET system is housed in the neighbouring IFReC building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Magnetoencephalography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have an augmented 360 high-density MEG system. This can be used in sitting or lying position, and with full set-up for cognitive tasks, including real-time analysis and online neurofeedback experiments. Our helium recycler will be installed in late 2014. We have an additional 148 channel system at our Kobe facility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Information and Network technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ICT researchers use a range of high performance computing and super-computing facilities, allowing large scale network simulations. Associated NICT institutes have advanced ICT facilities for research spanning nanocomputing, quantum ICT, photonics, and space communication. Several CiNet researchers use the K Supercomputer at RIKEN Kobe, and the NICT\u2019s Japan-wide Orchestrated Smart ICT Testbed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Electroencephalograhy and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have, and develop, EEG systems for standard uses, ambulant mobile wireless recording, and high density recording (using both wet and dry electrode systems). In addition to conventional fNIRS, high-density and wireless fNIRS systems are used at ATR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Visual displays and sensory stimulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have a range of immersive visual systems, including large scale 3D projection systems, virtual reality, wide-view MRI projection, integrated 3D vision and sound systems, and a motion platform \/ full flight simulator. We also have several contact heat stimulators for pain and temperature experiments, and state-of-the-art sound delivery systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Neurosurgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Osaka University Hospital Neurosurgical unit is one of the world\u2019s leading centers for invasive and non-invasive brain-machine interface research. They pioneer technology into invasive BMI electronics, wireless communication, and personalised 3D printed brain prosthetics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Laboratory facilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have an extensive range of laboratory facilities. This includes a number of specific apparatus for animal behavioural paradigms, such as conditioning, learning ,and maze experiments. We have facilities for in-vivo electrophysiology and awake physiological stimulation, and full stimulus delivery apparatus. We have experimental facilities for cellular and molecular neurobiology, and microscopic methodologies such as two-photon imaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
