Lab Resources
Hardware and Facilities:
The NCT Lab is housed in UNL’s Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior (CB3), offering 24/7 access to research dedicated: Siemens 3T Skyra MRI; electrophysiological, eye-tracking, and fNIRS suites; and behavioral testing rooms in addition to a behavioral testing suite which has 8 individual rooms with PCs.
The NCT Lab has state-of-the art computational resources including four, dedicated high-performance compute nodes featuring 208 Xenon cores and over 890 GB of RAM. The NCT Lab also partners with the Holland Computing Center allowing nearly 10 Pb of RAID-protected storage and hundreds of additional CPUs and GPUs via 10 Gb ethernet direct lines.
Data, Software, and Other Resources:
NCT Lab-generated data, software, and other resources are freely available for download on our GitHub page (coming soon), as well as through the National Institutes of Mental Health Data Archive (nda.nih.gov) and OpenScience Framework (osf.io).
