卡迪夫大学脑研究成像中心

Maindy Park is an Innovation Campus but also the physical embodiment of an Innovation System; it represents the coming together of disciplines and people to share problems, 认识到解决我们社会在卫生领域面临的主要问题需要具有不同和多样化才能的人员组成的团队. 作为神经成像中心, CUBRIC提供了设备和专业知识的结合，并首次将多个MRI扫描设备聚集在一起, 梅格扫描, 脑电图设施, 脑刺激, 睡眠实验室, 药物试验设施和现代化的办公环境, 结合开放式规划(针对客户群体的新方法), 在同一栋建筑内划分区域和会议空间.

The new facilities are unique in Europe and one of only two worldwide –with access to a truly innovative microstructure MRI facility; a machine so powerful that it has been equated to the Hubble Space Telescope. To put this into perspective a human hair is about 50 thousandths of a millimetre in diameter; this scanner is capable of giving scientists information about structures so small that 50 of them could be placed side by side on a single human hair! 所有这些都为中心的研究提供了支持，使CUBRIC能够采用尖端的研究方法，并将研究结果应用于关键的心理和临床问题. 这项研究旨在对理解人类健康和福祉产生直接影响, 包括导致认知障碍和心理健康的大脑变化. 除了, 该设施是按照NHS标准设计的, 从而允许领先学者之间的协作工作, 包括整个大学学院, 合作者, industry partners and healthcare professionals; all with the aim of making a real difference and discovering early treatments to many of the debilitating diseases society faces today.

与社区和大学对当地保护的承诺保持一致, CUBRIC的设计采用智能节能功能，达到实业“优秀”评级.
