At NICUM, we're equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a Siemens Magnetom Prisma 3 Tesla research scanner, an MR-compatible EEG-MRI (Brain Products) setup, advanced neurophysiological tools (ECG, respiration, GSR, MEPs), TMS-MRI, a neuronavigation, and eye tracking systems, plus a stimulus presentation VPixx system. Our facilities also feature two soundproof and electrically shielded cabins for comprehensive behavioral and neurophysiological studies (including eye tracking, EEG, TMS-EEG, ECG, HRV, andMEPs).

Our mission melds modern human cognitive neuroscience methods – fMRI, structural imaging, electrophysiological measurements, and stimulation techniques – with behavioral and neurobiological research (e.g., genomics). This multimodal approach maximizes the benefits of our diverse imaging platform. We are also committed to educating the next wave of cognitive neuroscience researchers, offering specialized training programs at GSN-LMU (e.g., the M.Sc. in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology).
