Welcome to the CNI Wiki
This site provides technical information for users of the Stanford Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging (CNI) facilities. All CNI users are invited to contribute their knowledge by editing content here. It is important that you verify the accuracy of any information that you post.
General CNI information is described on the main CNI web-site. That site also has a calendar for scheduling CNI facilities.
People
Daily operations of the MRI facility are managed by Bob Dougherty (bobd@stanford.edu), the Research Director, and by Laima Baltusis (laimab@stanford.edu), the Facility Manager. Atsushi Takahashi (atsushi1@stanford.edu) from GE is the on-site MR Physicist, Gunnar Schaefer is the chief Software Engineer, and Reno Bowen manages the peripheral hardware infrastructure in addition to being the head Python Guru. The CNI MRI facility is overseen by an Advisory Board.

Mission Statement
Discoveries about the brain have implications for fields ranging from Business, Law, Psychology, and Education. The Stanford Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging (CNI) supports scientific investigations into the brain that make rigorous connections between neuroscience and society. Our Mission is to:
- Support neuroscience discovery for enhancing society
- Develop and disseminate cognitive and neurobiological imaging methods
- Create a structured, safe, and innovative environment for human neuroscience research
Facilities
The first CNI project was construction of the MR facility in the basement of Jordan Hall. The GE MR 750 scanner is installed and the facility is operational. The MR scanner was delivered on November 13th. See some pictures from that day.
In addition to the scanner, there is a mock scanner for training, experimental testing rooms, and integrated experimental equipment (displays and EEG).
And then there is the famous Thai Cafe, located just across the hall. For those of you who don't know about it, see the TC on Yelp.
