York Neuroimaging Centre
Bridging the gap between human brain function and our understanding of the mind.
The York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) is the hub of a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the chemistry, structure and function of the human brain.
Our facilities include a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging systems, whole-head magnetoencephalography, high-density electroencephalography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, a three-bedroom sleep lab and high-performance parallel computing.

We combine cutting-edge neuroimaging methods with psychological research to investigate human brain functions including vision, memory, language, emotion and sleep. Our research aims to gain new insights into the biological basis of health and wellbeing through development and ageing.

Established
We have used neuroimaging to study the human brain since 2005
Research

Facilities
YNiC is an open-access research facility giving University of York staff, higher education institutions, clinical scientists and commercial users access to state-of-the-art equipment.
