Research Teams at the Brain Sciences Center
	MEG - Facial Pain Research will collect images and data from healthy volunteers and patients with altered facial somesthesia as they undergo stimulation of various areas of their faces.
	Adolescent psychiatric diagnosis This project’s goal is to facilitate optimal treatment of teens with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
	Alcoholism: MEG images of severe cases during early withdrawal The goal is to use this very sensitive, cutting-edge MEG neuroimaging tool to measure the impact of alcohol in the brains of sufferers of this addiction.
	Alzheimer’s Disease: early stages of cognitive impairment Researchers hope to detect the earliest changes in the brain function of Alzheimer’s Disease patients, and provide a background for future studies on treatment.
	Learning in the human motor cortex Sub-served studies include Probability Detection Mechanisms and Reference Frames in Motor Learning.
	Schizophrenia: dynamic studies of sequential processing This MEG study focuses on processing of information by schizophrenia patients at different perceptual, conceptual and attentional levels.
	Sonification: musical analysis of brain signals Data translated to sound is analyzed through the use of varying audio parameters.
