# Core NIBS

> **NIH NIH P01** · MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL · 2022 · $89,561

## Abstract

The Neuroimaging and Biostatistics (NIBS) Core will provide technical support to synthesize and integrate 
neuroimaging and statistical methods and analyses across the Center of Excellence for Research on 
Complementary and Integrative Health (CERCIH) Projects. The three Projects we propose aim to evaluate 
how combined top-down and bottom-up mind-body therapies boost neurophysiological response in migraine 
patients. By providing a common image acquisition and analysis framework, the NIBS Core will facilitate the 
ability to perform intra- and inter-project analyses as well as larger-scale analyses that integrate not only the 
CERCIH but other related NCCIH-funded studies at the institution, thus allowing us to address on a still 
broader scale questions about the neurobiology of mind-body therapies in chronic pain conditions, and thereby 
increase the value of such data to the broader community when shared according to our Data Sharing Plan. 
The Aims of the NIBS Core will be to optimize and integrate neuroimaging methods across the CERCIH 
Projects, which will cover ultrahigh field (7T) structural and functional MRI, positron emission tomography 
(PET), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS), and combined heart rate variability (HRV) / fMRI 
scanning for assessment of the Central Autonomic Network (CAN). Aims will also provide unified, 
comprehensive data analysis and biostatistical / neuroanatomical support, organize a unified database and 
data-sharing infrastructure, and support exploratory analyses on combined datasets collected by all three 
Projects.
