The Brain Imaging Center (BIC) is a research center operated by the
Goethe University, Frankfurt. It is dedicated to the investigation of
the structure and function of the human brain.

The BIC hosts two 3 Tesla MR scanners and a 275-Channel MEG System,
including additional equipment for stimulus presentation and recording
of physiological responses.

Two methodological research groups, the "MR Core Structure" and the "MEG
Core Structure", promote the creation of novel data acquisition and
analysis techniques and support BIC researchers with their respective
projects.

The interdisciplinary group of BIC Users comprises several internal and
external institutions, in particular:

Internal (Goethe University):
- Hospital for Neurology
- Hospital for Psychiatry
- Hospital for Neurosurgery
- Institute for Neuroradiology
- Institute for Medical Psychology
- Institute for Clinical Pharmacology
- Department of Psychology

External:
- Max Planck-Institute for Brain Research
- Max Planck-Institute for Empirical Aesthetics
- Ernst Strüngmann-Institute
- German Institute for International Educational Research ("DIPF")
- Sigmund-Freud-Institute
- Gutenberg University Mainz

Furthermore, the BIC is a member of the Rhine-Main Neuroscience Network
("rmn2").

All users support the BIC by contributing their respective research
experience, scientific viewpoints and methodological expertise. Due to
this unique structure, the BIC has become a place of interdisciplinary
research and intellectual exchange. In particular, the close cooperation
of clinical and non-clinical scientists allows to bridge the gap between
basic and clinical research.
