About

The Connectome 2.0 is the next-generation 3 Tesla human MRI scanner at the Massachusetts General Hospital, designed for imaging human brain circuits across scales, as a unique resource for neuroscience collaborations around the world.

This ultra-high gradient strength, high slew-rate 3T MRI scanner was expressly developed through the support of the NIH BRAIN Initiative to enable studies of neural tissue microstructure and brain circuits spanning the microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic scales. The Connectome 2.0 scanner builds upon our expertise in engineering and disseminating the first human Connectome MRI scanner for the Human Connectome Project to hundreds of users worldwide.
