The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and to use novel tools for conducting animal and human brain research.
As CNIR director and leader of the CNIR, which has over 100 staff members and 10 principal investigators, Dr. Seong-Gi Kim hopes to go beyond simply understanding neurological processes; his goal is to plunge deeper into underlying causalities.
He is motivated to comprehend the reasons that underlie specific neural responses as well as the factors that influence them. This curiosity surrounding the complex mechanisms and relationships underpinning brain functionality has been the key force fuelling his work at the helm of magnetic resonance imaging…
