Brains Unlimited
Brains Unlimited, part of the Maastricht Health Campus, is a new neuro-imaging platform that will assist the scientific and business sectors in furthering their understanding of common diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, epilepsy, schizophrenia and MS, and gain additional insight into the development of human behaviour. In addition to these research projects, new full-time and part-time career-oriented master’s programmes will be developed in the field of neurophysics and neuroimaging.
Scanner lab
An integrated scanner lab for three fMRI scanners with ultra-high magnetic fields of 3.0, 7.0 and 9.4 Tesla will be manufactured for the Brains Unlimited project. The location will also house spin-off companies (the Neuropartner Incubator) and new buildings for the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience. The scanners will be phased into operation in 2012 and 2013.
“Dit project is mede mogelijk gemaakt door bijdragen van het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling, het Rijk en de Provincie Limburg in het kader van OP-ZUID. Ook investeerde de Provincie Limburg tien miljoen euro in het project.”
