Research Facilities

NYU Center for Brain Imaging

Visit Site

The NYU Center for Brain Imaging is a shared facility, dedicated to research and teaching in cognitive neuroscience. The NYU Brain Imaging Center is located on the ground floor of the Meyer building, the same building that houses the Psychology Department and the Center for Neural Science. The NYU Center for Brain Imaging is host to a Siemens Allegra 3T head-only scanner,  a 128 channel EEG system using the Geodesic Sensor Net technology and a transcranial magnetic stimulation lab.

Societies and Organizations

Social & Affective Neuroscience Society

Visit site

The Social & Affective Neuroscience Society (SANS) is committed to research investigating the neural basis of social and affective processes. The Society was founded in 2008 and now comprises over 400 members. One of the main ways that SANS promotes social and affective neuroscience is by holding an annual meeting each year. The meeting was held in New York in 2009 and will be returning to New York in 2011.
