The Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory (FNL) conducts research that falls into the broad area of Cognitive Neuroscience - it examines the neural basis of human cognitive and perceptual processes in healthy individuals, changes associated with ageing and in a variety of disorders, with a focus on schizophrenia and psychosis.

Our research facilities permit studies using EEG, fMRI and a broad range of neuropsychologicalpsychometric tests. In addition, the laboratory has access to MEG facilities based at KIT-Macquarie University Brain Research Laboratory.

The FNL is one facility within the School of Psychology. It forms part of the Priority Research Centre in Brain and Mental Health and affiliated with the Hunter Medical Research Institute. The FNL has close collaborative links with the Schizophrenia Research Institute (formerly known as NISAD - Neuroscience Institute for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders).
