Course on brain imaging methods (Modernit aivokuvantamismenetelmät) will be lectured again during spring 2012. Read more »»
In 2012, we purchased top level EyeLink eye tracker. It is used together with EEG (up to 256 channels). Read more here and check our other facilities.
In 2011, we acquired a trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device (the NBS system 4 of Nexstim). With this MRI-guided TMS, one can, with highest accuracy, navigate to cortical structures and non-invasively excite or inhibit them. Also concurrent EEG recordings can be carried out with our TMS system.

Cognitive Brain Reasearch Unit

At the Cognitive Brain Research Unit (CBRU), located at the Institute of Behavioural Sciences, we address human auditory and crossmodal cognition, as well as their impairments and plasticity. The main research areas are human language and music processes, the development of auditory skills, and the effects of aging on auditory perception. |

We utilize modern brain research methods in our interdisciplinary work, which is carried out with an international and national collaboration network. Since 1995 CBRU has been selected several times as the Center of Excellence (the Academy of Finland: 1995-1999 and 2002-2007; University of Helsinki: 1997-2001). Currently, the Brain and Music team of CBRU belongs to the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Music Research coordinated by the University of Jyväskylä.
