Developing New Methods to Image the Infant Brain
We use a range of technologies to understand brain function in both healthy and sick newborn infants and relate this to their behavioural state. We apply state-of-the-art optical, ultrasound and EEG technologies to develop lightweight wearable imaging systems which can be used at the cotside.

neoLAB is a unique infant functional brain imaging research unit based in the Evelyn Perinatal Imaging Centre at the Rosie Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. With funding from the Evelyn Trust, the centre houses an infant scanning room, physics laboratory and access to a 1.5T MRI scanner. The group consists of clinicians, nurses, neuroscientists, physicists and engineers with the aim of developing new technologies to image the developing brain. We have a longstanding collaboration with the DOT-HUB research group at University College London (UCL) and the Departments of Clinical Neurosciences and Psychology at Cambridge University. More recent collaborations are with Physics for Medicine in Paris and the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education (CARES) Singapore.

From Research to Patient Care
We apply the best research to improve clinical care for infants with brain injury
