The University of Haifa and the Rambam Health Care Campus are joining forces to secure an advanced magnetic resonance imaging machine (MRI) to promote applied and basic research in fields ranging from behavioral science to cognitive psychology and physical rehabilitation. The device will be made available to University researchers and Rambam clinician and scientists. At the University alone, there are more than 30 faculty members and over 150 students from four different faculties involved in interdisciplinary studies that require MRI data.  They banded together to form the Interdisciplinary Neuroimaging Forum, a group that has developed a wide-ranging agenda that includes the establishment of hands-on training curriculum for MA and PhD students and a full scholarship program for postgraduates investigating aging, human memory and other cognitive processes.
