Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain

The FMRIB Centre is a multi-disciplinary neuroimaging research facility, which focuses on the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for neuroscience research, along with related technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, transcranial Direct Cortical Stimulation and EEG. FMRIB is composed of research groups in all aspects of brain imaging research, including physics, analysis, basic science and clinical neuroscience.  We were recently awarded £8 million by the MRC, EPSRC, Wolfson Foundation and University of Oxford to purchase and install new 7T and 3T leading-edge MRI systems to enable us to image brain structure and function at even higher resolution than currently possible. To find out more about the history of the Centre, our future plans and a flavour of the research we carry out, view our lab overview.
