BIC
Brain Imaging Center
The Brain Imaging Center (BIC) is a research center operated by the Goethe University, Frankfurt. It is dedicated to the investigation of the structure and function of the human brain.
The research at BIC focuses on the cerebral foundations of language, memory, information processing, and music. Translational projects aim to improve the understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders by integrating the latest imaging research into clinical practice. In collaboration with various neuroscience disciplines, BIC also contributes to basic research to advance knowledge and improve future patient care.
In particular, the close cooperation of clinical and non-clinical scientists allows to bridge the gap between basic and clinical research.
