Loni

[LONI] - The Laboratory for Neuro Imaging at UCLA

LONI strives to improve our understanding of the brain in health and disease. LONI is a leader in the development of advanced computational algorithms and scientific approaches for the comprehensive and quantitative mapping of brain structure and function.

LONI Organization LONI begun as a research Laboratory in 1983 at the Washington University School of Medicine at St. Louis, the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging moved to the University of California at Los Angeles in 1987. Today it is one of the country's foremost neurological research centers.

LONI works towards uncovering new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone by:

conducting research and building population-based and disease-specific digital brain atlases;
helping in the training of research investigators; and
fostering communication of medical information.

Investigations into brain structure and function require a diverse array of tools to create, analyze, visualize, and interact with models of the brain. The laboratory houses a large super computer, over 50 workstations and a data archival system of over 100 terabytes. The LONI Scientific Visualization Group has a cutting-edge production studio capable of outputting the highest quality video and audio. The wet labs are equipped with state of the art processing equipment for computational neuroanatomy and a suite of optical cameras for functional imaging.
