Umeå Center for Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI)

Umeå center for Functional Brain Imaging is an inter-disciplinary research center where imaging techniques are used to examine brain structure and function in relation to both basic and clinical questions.

To date, more than 100 researchers within Umeå University and more than 50 external researchers have been involved in UFBI-projects as co-authors on publications based on data collected at UFBI.
