The MRI is located at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, South Dakota. The EEG system is located in the Lee Medical building at USD. These systems are available on a fee-for-service basis to research groups around the university and may be available to external users on a case-by-case basis. In addition, we maintain research participant testing and waiting rooms, as well as participant parking at the Lee Medical building in Vermillion.
Our Facility
The USD Human Functional Imaging Core is an interdisciplinary unit organized by the Center for Brain and Behavior Research (CBBRe). We are dedicated to supporting behavioral and brain research on the structures and functions that underlie cognitive, motor and affective processes. We maintain an environment that will enhance the excellence of research at USD by providing a well-equipped physical facility and appropriate staff support services for investigators conducting human subjects research.
The microscopes in the Imaging Core may be used independently by researchers. For imaging inquiries, contact Scott.Pattison@usd.edu.
Access to the microscopes are on a first-come, first-served basis and must be reserved through the Booked electronic scheduling platform.
USD and USD-affiliated researchers may incur charges for use of the facility. External charge rates may apply for outside entities. Contact biomed@usd.edu for a quote or details about available services.
