## Abstract

Abstract/Summary: Neuroimaging Acquisition and Analysis Core 
The Neuroimaging Acquisition and Analysis Core will be the only core facility dedicated to human brain research 
in the state of Nebraska, and the only research core facility of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Development and 
Aging (CONDA) Center. This new Core Facility will provide neuroimaging infrastructure and analysis expertise 
to four institutions concentrated in a narrow stretch of downtown Omaha: the University of Nebraska Medical 
Center (UNMC), the Boys Town National Research Hospital, the University of Nebraska – Omaha, and 
Creighton University. The Core will house a collection of state-of-the-art, research-dedicated neuroimaging and 
neurostimulation equipment, including a 306-sensor magnetoencephalography (MEG) system, a 3.0T Siemens 
Prisma magnet with high-performance gradients and a 64-channel head coil, new electrical and magnetic brain 
stimulation equipment, extensive high-performance computing resources, and other tools for advanced cognitive 
neuroscience research. The associated equipment and space has underwent significant renovations and 
upgrades during the past three years, and already serves a rich community of users comprised of members of 
multiple research programs led by established PIs with significant NIH, NSF, and/or foundation awards. The 
Core will also play a vital role in all four of the primary COBRE research projects, nurture the emergence of 
new research through the Pilot and Mini-Grant programs of the CONDA Center, and host instructional 
workshops and other training events. Thus, the Core’s community of users is expected to significantly increase 
throughout Phase I. The Core Facility will be directed by Dr. Tony Wilson (UNMC) who is an internationally- 
known expert with extensive experience in multimodal imaging, brain stimulation, and advanced data analytics. 
In summary, the combination of cognitive neuroscience, advanced neuroimaging, cognitive development, and 
brain and cognitive aging will create excellent opportunities for synergistic interactions within the new Core 
Facility, and these will spark new research ideas and programs, which will further grow the Core and the 
CONDA Center as a whole.
