operations and functioning. He sets and implements policies for the use
and operation of the scanner and ensures a safe environment. He conducts
safety and operational training sessions and certification examinations
and consults on safety issues. He is the first point-of-contact for
problems with the scanner or other equipment and for questions regarding
procedures.
Neuroinformatics Research Group (NRG website)
The Neuroinformatics Research Group is responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of the software and hardware computational framework. They are available to help users with XNAT/CBSCentral, DICOM file processing, NiFTI-1 file processing, Python, Perl, PHP, C/C++, shell scripting, time series analysis, client-server application development, hardware purchase/implementation questions as well as database design, implementation and usage. Their primary interests are in applied computer science and information technology that drive neuroscience and genetics.
