ANI research infrastructure houses four functional neuroimaging modalities, navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) at Aalto TMS, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Advanced Magnetic Imaging (AMI) Centre, magnetoencephalography (MEG) at MEG Core and Aalto Behavioral Laboratory (ABL).
General hygiene information for facility users (COVID-19).

All articles published on the data measured at ANI should have at least one author with ANI affiliation. In practice, it can be achieved by having one author with double affiliation. The authors should also acknowledge ANI in the Materials and Methods section of their papers. This will assure that all ANI activities can be reported correctly and the host support will continue.

In addition to following our current operation principles, the principal investigator (PI) using Aalto NeuroImaging (ANI) facilities (AMI Centre, MEG Core, Aalto TMS, and Aalto Behavioral Laboratory) should note that he/she is responsible for the data acquisition, data transfer and storage at their own respective institute and/or department. ANI provides secure first-hand storage (e.g., at the console computer/server with short grace period, 2 weeks guaranteed) but is not saving or backing up the data for future use for any user. We suggest that the PI follows the guidelines of Aalto University. This information can be found from:

AMI Centre maintains a research-dedicated 3T-MRI scanner, develops and maintains the related infrastructure and offers services to multiple research teams. Typical measurements at AMI Centre include functional and structural brain imaging or diffusion tensor imaging. In addition, AMI Centre develops new methods and applications of MRI technology.
MEG Core offers excellent environment for magnetoencephalography (MEG). MEG Core has a state-of-the-art 306-channel MEG device (MEGIN TRIUX neo, MEGIN Oy, Helsinki, Finland) in a high-end 3-layered magnetically shielded room (Imedco AG, Hägendorf, Switzerland). MEG Core has extremely low magnetic ambient noise level and a wide variety of MEG-compatible stimulators and monitoring devices for successful MEG measurements.
ABL offers various different devices, including EEG, Eye Trackers, Thermal camera, Thermal Stimulator, VR Headset, and Data Logger for biosignals (EMG, ECG, GSR).
Aalto TMS offers researchers unique possibilities for multi-modal neuroimaging techniques. The laboratory contains top-of-the-line electroencelography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems. Neuronavigated TMS-system with two stimulation units and various coils makes numerous TMS and rTMS examination setups possible. 64 ch EEG-system, specially designed for co-registration with TMS, can be used to map stimulus responses simultaneously.
