Investigations are focused on the methodology of the functional research of the nervous system, in particular on imaging, monitoring, and analysis of the activity of the brain. Laboratory of Biomedical Optics deals with modern techniques of medical diagnosis based on the interaction of light with the tissue structure. Particularly, the theoretical and experimental studies are devoted to the improvement of two tissue optics techniques: near-infrared spectroscopy, diffuse correlated spectroscopy, and laser-Doppler flowmetry. These techniques allow for the assessment of changes in tissue oxygenation and perfusion related to the enhancement of neural activity in specific brain regions.

The  Laboratory of new diagnostic applications of MRI (CNS Lab) deals with accurate and detailed programming, including a selection of the most appropriate imaging sequences and best study protocols, and MRI data analysis methods. The laboratory carries out experiments with simultaneous MRI, NIRS and EEG acquisition, deals with quantitative BOLD and perfusion imaging and spectroscopic imaging with the use of hyperpolarized agents.
