Rotman Research Institute researchers have access to the following resources:

Canadian Brain Imaging Research Network (CBRAIN)

CBRAIN accesses remote storage and computing resources of Compute Canada's High Performance Computing Centers (HPC), through CANARIE advanced research and innovation network infrastructure. High speed connections link our five Canadian centers for our regular data transfers and dedicated 10 Gbps Lighpaths allow us to develop real time 3D visualisation of very large brain models.

1. CBRAIN Project Objectives
The CBRAIN Project is an initiative to develop a platform for distributed processing and exchange of brain imaging data between five leading brain imaging research centers in Canada.

• Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, QC - Dr. Alan C. Evans
• Baycrest Hospital's Rotman Research Institute, Toronto, ON - Dr. Stephen Strother
• University of Western Ontario's Robarts Institute, London, ON - Dr. Ravi Menon
• L'Unite de Neuroimagerie Fonctionelle de l'Universite de Montreal, QC - Dr. J Doyon
• Neuroscience department of the University of Bristish Columbia, Vancouver, BC - Dr. Jon
