Understanding the human brain
The Neuroimaging Group at the Cajal Neuroscience Center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) investigates the human brain and its functioning, in health and across neurological conditions.

Our objective is to characterize the brain in healthy populations and to study the changes occurring across various neurological conditions. We lead open science initiatives by sharing software, data repositories and contributing to neuroimaging standards and good practices.
We use a range of neuroimaging techniques: electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), tractography (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

More on our research-
Healthy brain functioning
We characterize brain activity in healthy people, studying brain oscillations, synchronization and connectivity.
-
Clinical applications
We investigate how brain networks are altered in neurological conditions while evaluating the efficacy of targeted neurorehabilitation programs.
-
Open and reproducible neuroimaging
We lead international efforts to standardize brain imaging data, develop open-source software and establish global repositories.
