Our website has changed slightly to reflect our new name.  The original Visual Brain Core was made possible by a generous grant from UAB's HSF/GEF grant program.  Given that our resources ended up being used by a broader base of users than just vision researchers, we've dropped the "visual" from our name.  Also, we're continuing our work in collaboration with UAB's Civitan International Neuroimaging Lab, and so we're officially the CINL Brain Core now.


==Visual Brain Core Mission==
Our new website is here: [https://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/Brain_Core https://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/Brain_Core]
Our mission is to help produce high quality, cutting edge research examining the visual brain. To achieve this, we will help investigators overcome some common barriers to performing high quality vision research, and provide forums to discuss new ideas and research techniques.

Our website has changed slightly to reflect our new name. The original Visual Brain Core was made possible by a generous grant from UAB's HSF/GEF grant program. Given that our resources ended up being used by a broader base of users than just vision researchers, we've dropped the "visual" from our name. Also, we're continuing our work in collaboration with UAB's Civitan International Neuroimaging Lab, and so we're officially the CINL Brain Core now.
