DRCMR is a world of opportunities for interns from Denmark, Europe and the world. We welcome interns/volunteers from all fields with an interest in neuroscience, MRI and related fields.

The overall focus of the group is to advance the technology and thereby unleash the full potential of ultra-high field MR. Ultra-high field MR offers unique opportunities for revealing new insight into the relationship between structure and function of the human body as part of our clinical research studies.

At DRCMR, we have seven MR scanners, including a 7T scanner

 At DRCMR, we are very fond of open source, and a large part of our infrastructure is based on Linux, FreeBSD, and PostgreSQL.

In 1985 the DRCMR was inaugurated thanks to a generous donation from the flamboyant travel agency owner Simon Spies of a 1.5 tesla magnetic resonance scanner to Hvidovre Hospital – the first MRI scanner in Denmark.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease causing widespread tissue damage in the brain and spinal cord. This disease is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability among young adults. MRI plays a key role in the diagnosis, management and research of MS. 

Transcranial Brain Stimulation (TBS) can influence the ongoing electrical activity of the human brain.

As of 2015, the DRCMR operates one of the strongest MR scanners worldwide and the only one of its caliber in Denmark. The purchase of ths state-of-the-art MR system from Phillips Healthcare was made possible by the John and Birthe Meyer Foundation and the Danish Agence for Science, Technology and Innovation.

Our primary research interest concerns the brain’s reward system. Put simply: how does it work, and why? We explore computational theories that constrain how it should work and then test the predictions of these theories against behavioural, physiological, and neuroimaging data.
