New ultrahigh field MRI scanner has arrived
The new ultrahigh field MRI scanner, called the “7T”, has arrived. The 17 tonne magnet lies at the heart of a world leading centre for brain imaging. The innovative Terra MRI system from Siemens will transform the ability to see in detail inside the working human brain, its structure, its function, its chemistry and the […]
Semantic and emotional content of imagined representations
A collaboration between and Daniel Mitchell at the CBU and Rhodri Cusack at Western’s Brain and Mind Institute used a new type of real-time fMRI scanning to compare brain activity patterns when volunteers imagined objects to the activity patterns when they actually saw many different objects. They found that when something is imagined, volunteers didn’t […]
Time-series analysis to mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder to promote treatment innovation?
A paper on research by Emily Holmes and her team on using applications of time-series analysis to mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder to promote treatment innovation has been published in Nature. The findings offer preliminary support for a new imagery-focused treatment approach. They also indicate a step in treatment innovation without the requirement for trials […]
Be part of our research
We are seeking volunteers to help us with our studies on brain’s phenomenal capacities in language, memory, perception, reasoning and creativity. Volunteers can contribute to our studies by completing computerised experiments and taking part in various types of brain scanning studies in our Unit near to the centre of Cambridge. Increasingly we also use on-line tasks that […]

Computer game play reduces intrusive memories
Researchers at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge have shown that playing a visual computer game reduces the intrusiveness of emotional memories of events seen the day before. In two experiments, participants viewed films with traumatic content, such as public information films of the dangers of drink driving. A day later, one group watched […]
