Cooperative study by functional imaging (combined study of 2011’s cooperative study by functional magnetic resonance imaging and cooperative study by Magneto-encephalography)
The NIPS supports the measurement of brain structure and function in humans and nonhuman primates using 3- and 7-tesla MRI equipment. For this pupose, the NIPS sets up two research categories: “non-destructive three-dimensional observation of living organisms” and “structure and energy state observation of organic activity, including brain activators.” By systematically establishing a series of methods ranging from experimental planning to image data collection and image statistical processing, the NIPS provides a high-quality research environment that goes beyond simply sharing equipment. In 2025, 32 studies are scheduled to be carried out.
