Aalto Neuroimaging Infrastructure

Offering main image

Aalto NeuroImaging Infrastructure (ANI) is a research-dedicated infrastructure in human neuroimaging. ANI houses four functional neuroimaging modalities, navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) at Aalto TMS, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Advanced Magnetic Imaging (AMI) Centre, magnetoencephalography (MEG) at MEG Core and Aalto Behavioural Laboratory (ABL). The Infrastructure is open for all users.

Equipment

MI Centre maintains a research-dedicated 3T-MRI scanner and develops and maintains the related. Typical measurements at AMI Centre include functional and structural brain imaging or diffusion tensor imaging.

MEG Core has a modern 306-channel MEG device (Elekta Neuromag™, Elekta Oy, Helsinki, Finland) in a high-end 3-layered magnetically shielded room (Imedco AG, Hägendorf, Switzerland). MEG Core has extremely low magnetic ambient noise level. MEG Core has a wide variety of MEG-compatible stimulators and monitoring devices.

Aalto Behavioural Laboratory (ABL) has various different monitoring and stimulus systems for behavioural studies in controlled environment. The laboratory consists of two measurement rooms: a shielded room which is especially intended for EEG and remote eye tracking measurements; and a room for behavioural measurements which doesn’t require shielded conditions.

Aalto TMS laboratory contains top-of-the-line electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems. TMS Neuronavigation-system with two stimulation units and various coils makes numerous TMS and rTMS examination setups possible. 64 ch EEG-system, specially designed for co-registration with TMS, can be used to map stimulus responses simultaneously.
