In March 2012, Kokoro Research Center inaugurated the KRC Collaborative MRI Research Facilities with the funding support of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The KRC MRI Facilities houses a high-magnetic-field (3-T) MRI scanner and is equipped with other features including a "communication signal mediation and relay system" which allows participant interaction inside and outside the MRI scanner and anechoic chambers, offering an ideal research environment. In addition to active utilization in advanced research in the field of cognitive neuroscience, the KRC MRI Facilities is widely used for educational and outreach activities.
