About the Dynamic Neuroimaging Laboratory Mission StatementThe DNL integrates multi-modality functional imaging and computational modeling to study the brain systems underlying perceptual and cognitive function in health and disease. Our current research focus is on perception, attention and working memory; and changes in elderly and clinical populations. The laboratory employs high-density electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and computational modeling. Data from these complementary non-invasive techniques are integrated to gain deeper insight into the brain networks and temporal processes under study. The laboratory consequently devotes extensive effort on developing and refining tools for EEG/MEG brain source localization, "multimodal" imaging coregistration and analysis, and integration of human data with animal models. In addition, we are involved in several multi-site computational and neuroinformatics projects, including the development of computational models of the spatial and temporal patterns of activity in large scale neural networks; and development of a probabilistic atlas of human brain anatomy and function. ConsortiumThe Network for the study of Brain Systems and Dynamics is a consortium of Cognitive Neuroscience/Computational Science laboratories for the study of dynamical systems of large-scale brain networks with EEG, MEG and fMRI. More information on this research can be found at the DNL's Research Networks website. CollaborationsAt UCSF, our laboratory currently collaborates with the Biomagnetic Imaging Laboratory, directed by Dr. Sri Nagarajan, the Magnetic Resonance Science Center, directed by Dr. Sarah Nelson, as well as colleagues at the WM Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience - one of five Sloan-Swartz Centers for Theoretical Neurobiology. International Consortium for Brain MappingUCSF's DNL is a Research Partner in the International Consortium for Brain Mapping. 
Additional CollaborationsThe DNL also has long standing NIH-funded collaborations with a number of extramural research centers including MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging; Helsinki University Central Hospital; Los Alamos National Laboratory Biophysics Group; UCLA Brain Mapping Center; Montreal Neurological Institute Brain Imaging Center; UTHSCSA Research Imaging Center; and the Rotman Research Institute, in Toronto.
