Research Groups
The interdisciplinary approach of the Erwin L. Hahn Institute for MRI in the field of ultra-high-field MRI is characterised in particular by the various research groups, which illustrate the focal points "Body" and "Brain" in a variety of ways.
PI groups
Pain Research
U. Bingel
Pain research focus on the interaction between pain and cognitive processes.

Cognitive Neuroscience
M. Brand
The research group examines neural connections between knowledge based processes and impulsive (emotional) processes using fMRI. The researchers pay special attention to the neural mechanisms of decision-making and their interactions with control processes and emotions.

Neuroimaging Techniques
D. G. Norris
The main emphasis of this PI Group lies on development and application of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy in cognitive neuroscience and neurology.

UHF Methodology and Hardware
H. H. Quick
The research group develops and assesses new methods and hardware to broaden the spectrum of 7-Tesla ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging. The researchers simulate, design and evaluate new multi-channel radiofrequency coils.

Body oncology
T. W. J. Scheenen
Prof. Dr. Scheenen’s research focus lies in the use of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy for oncological applications, e.g. to diagnose prostate cancer.

Biopsychology
O. Güntürkün
Biopsychology examines the impact of biological mechanisms of the body on the behaviour of humans and animals. Prof. Dr. Dr. Güntürkün pays special attention to the fact that different species with diverse brains produce similar behavior and works with pigeons, humans, dolphins, crocodiles and corvids.

RF manipulation
M. E. Ladd
Prof. Dr. Ladd’s research group develops methods and technologies to enable 7 Tesla examinations throughout the body.

Cerebellar Research
D. Timmann
Prof. Dr. Timmann’s group studies the physiology and pathophysiology of the human cerebellum and in particular its involvement in motor, emotional and cognitive functions.

Memory and Navigation
N. Axmacher
The research group investigates neural mechanisms of the memory and spatial navigation. Main focus lies on the differences of neural mechanisms of healthy subjects and subjects with neurocognitive changes through post-traumatic stress disorder and early Alzheimer‘s disease.
