Collaborating to advance neuroscience research
Welcome to the Center for Imaging Science (CIS), a multidisciplinary research center housed in the FIU Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED). With an emphasis on functional neuroimaging research, the CIS was designed to support an integrated community of investigators at the forefront of imaging science in the College of Arts, Sciences & Education; the College of Engineering & Computing; and the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work.
The CIS includes a research-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facility that supports a 3T Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma. This MRI scanner is equipped to run the Human Connectome Protocol, which entails state-of-the art multiband data acquisition, advanced motion correction (PROMO), EPI distortion correction (EPIC), ultra-fast data acquisition facilitating HARDI and high-resolution, sub-second TR EPI acquisition.
The 3,178-square-foot MRI Facility is located at 130 PG-5 on FIU’s Modesto Maidique Campus.

Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study
FIU is among 21 institutions conducting the nation’s largest long-term study of young people’s brain development and health. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released an unparalleled dataset from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD study) — the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States.
