We do basic science using NTBS, Neuroimaging and the combination of these

The Center C/D labs are funded by Grant of Excellence "Control of Actions" (ContAct) from the Lundbeck Foundation, as well as an Interdisciplinary Synergy Grant "Biophysically adjusted State-informed Cortex Stimulation (BaSiCs) awarded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

One lab is reserved for EEG and behavioral testing. It is equipped with a high-density, 128-channel EEG system (Biosemi EEG system), state-of-the-art eye tracking and a virtual reality environment.

The remaining three labs support NTBS with and without concurrent EEG. Each NTBS laboratory is furthermore equipped with stereotactic neuro-navigation (Localite neuronavigation), top-of-the line Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Magventure) and transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) equipment, an Electromyography (EMG) setup and the possibility for additional clinical and non-clinical behavioral and sensory testing. In two labs we can combined TMS with ultra-high sampling rate EEG amplifier (Brain Products), which allows us to record the immediate impact of TMS on the brain. One laboratory includes a full setup for single-transducer Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (Sonic concepts) funded by an Ascending grant from Lundbeck Foundation "Accurate Computational Dose Control for Transcranial Electric and Ultrasound Stimulation". 

In addition to our neurophysiology laboratories, we also have the possibility to conduct concurrent TMS-fMRI and EEG-fMRI experiments at one of our 3T MR-scanners: Our TMS-fMRI setup includes in-scanner stereotactic navigation and flexible RF-coils also funded by the "BaSiCs" grant awarded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

In our therapeutic research unit, we put brain stimulation to the trial

In center E, we have two fully equipped electrophysiological research labs equipped with state-of-the-art brain stimulation equipment including two custom made ultra-high frequency stimulators (Magventure) as well as 64 channel EEG (Brainproducts) with sampling rates to 50K Hz. In addition, one of the labs features a TMS-Cobot system (Axilum Robotics), which allows for individualized automated and Neuronavigated stimulation of the brain. In our therapeutic research unit, we can consequently record and perturb the brain with unmatched precision in time and space. The labs in the therapeutic unit are equipped through funding from the ADAPT-PD (ADAptive and Precise brain-circuit Targeting in Parkinson’s Disease) from Lundbeck Foundation.

The Hardware Lab

The DRCMR hardware lab consists of two parts. There is a mechanical workshop and an electronic workshop available. 

The mechanical workshop (værksted) is located next to the 3T Philips scanner (dept 714) and is equipped with wood and metal working tools, an upright drilling machine, a lathe, a Dremel set and other smaller tools.

The electronic workshop is located close to the 7T Philips scanner. This lab space consists of several working spaces and one soldering station with a 2 port network analyzer for low power RF coil testing, a four port oscilloscope and other tools. The 3D printer is also located in this lab. For high power RF coil testing, a second room is available where there is separate access to the 7T 8-channel transmit system. MR phantoms can be made, a sink with both normal tap and demineralized water is available, as well as a refrigerator.
