F.C. Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging
Encyclopedia
The Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is a research institute
in the Netherlands. It is located at the campus of the Radboud University Nijmegen
and maintains strong ties with the Donders Centre for Cognition (former Nijmegen Institute for Cognition and Information
) and the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
.
In order to train young talent in the broad field of cognitive neuroscience
, the Donders Institute has established the Donders Graduate School for Cognitive Neuroscience (DGCN), which offers students a high-quality educational programme at both the Master's and the PhD level. The school is intended for the best international students in biology, physics, psycholinguistics, behavioral studies and medicine who are strongly motivated to do research in cognitive neuroscience.
The centre also has an arrangement with Universität Duisburg-Essen to operate a 7T fMRI facility in Essen, at the Kokerei Zollverein
, the site of the former Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex
. Research at the centre is focussed around neuroimaging techniques such as MEG, EEG
and fMRI.
Fieldtrip, a Matlab-based toolkit for analysis of MEG and EEG
data was originally developed at the Donders Centre.

Cognitive neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the scientific study of biological substrates underlying cognition, with a specific focus on the neural substrates of mental processes. It addresses the questions of how psychological/cognitive functions are produced by the brain...
