Enw	Brand/model	Manylion
7 Tesla MRI Scanner	Siemens Magnetom System	Siemens 7 Tesla Magnetom system which is based on an Agilent 7T/830 actively shielded magnet. The system is equipped with 70 mT/m gradients, Siemens’ parallel transmit technology (pTx Step 2.3), and has multi-nuclear capability to take full advantage of the high field strength.
3 Tesla MRI Scanner	Siemens Prisma	The Prisma is the most advanced research 3T scanner currently available, featuring 80 mT/m gradients and up to 128 RF receive channels.
Microstructure MRI Scanner	Siemens.	This advanced system features 300 mT/m gradient coils which are typically four times stronger than those found in conventional MR systems. This allows researchers to probe tissue microstructure to much finer detail.
EEG 128 Channel	BioSemi	Active and Passive electrode set up.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation	Magstim.	Includes multiple systems for repetitive and patterned offline protocols (including theta-burst stimulation), paired-pulse stimulation to measure GABAergic and glutamatergic neurophysiology and specialised technology for concurrent TMS and 3T MRI.
High Performance Cluster	High Performance Cluster	100 Compute Nodes, 12 CPU cores, 192 GB of RAM.
