Dartmouth · PBS & DBIC

Shared human neuroscience infrastructure at Dartmouth

A connected ecosystem of imaging, stimulation, and computing resources — open to the PBS, DBIC, and broader Dartmouth research community.

One community, shared instruments

World-class facilities for human neuroscience

Housed in Moore Hall alongside the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the Cognitive Science Program, these resources span a state-of-the-art 3 Tesla MRI scanner, petabyte-scale computing, and specialized labs for fNIRS, EEG, virtual reality, neurostimulation, and human psychophysiology. Many are available to researchers across campus.
