Tübingen

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Centre, headed by Prof. Klaus Scheffler, is part of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, which focuses research in the signal and information processing of the brain. One goal of our research is the development and application of MRI techniques for neuroscience. Of particular importance is the development of imaging hardware and sequences, as well as specialized contrast agents for brain research.

Research areas

• Hardware development for ultra-high-field MRI
• Development of MRI sequences and measurement techniques for ultra-high-field MRI
• Determine the possibilities and limitations of ultra-high field MRI
• Application of MRI techniques in neuroscience
• Development of novel MRI contrast agents
