History
The Functional Imaging Laboratory FIL was founded in 1994 following a major grant award from the Wellcome Trust This provided for a new building capital equipment and core staff support
The award enabled a core group of scientists based at the Medical Research Council Cyclotron Unit at the Hammersmith Hospital to relocate their activity to a central London site within UCL
In 1994 the principal neuroimaging research tool was Positron Emission Tomography PET Over the next decade functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI beceme the primary investigative tool of the FIL leading to PET decommissioning in 2004
Currently the investigative tools of the laboratory include functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI magnetoencephalography MEG and electroencephalography EEG The laboratory has continued to enjoy core Wellcome Trust infrastructure support through major grant awards in 1999 and 2004
In 2006 following a successful bid for a Strategic Award the laboratory was awarded Wellcome Trust Centre status and is now known as the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL
