MR facility in Jordan Hall

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).
