Dynamic Imaging Science Center

The mission of the Dynamic Imaging Science Center (DISC) is to better understand the science of human movement in health and disease, through the development and use of non-invasive imaging. The facility operates a high-performance 0.55 Tesla whole-body MRI scanner, with a wide range of physiological monitoring systems that can be utilized simultaneously with imaging. Current projects include the imaging of the upper airway vocal tract during speech production, swallowing, and sleep; imaging movement of joints such as the wrist; and cardio-pulmonary imaging.

Equipment and services include: The Center will provide MRI scan time on a 0.55 Tesla low-field scanner (billed hourly). We will also provide MRI data archiving and retrieval for raw data and reconstructed images. This will be billed per scan, and by Gigabyte for unusually large datasets.

Shoah Foundation

The Shoah Foundation’s mission is to develop empathy, understanding, and respect through testimony. The Institute currently has more than 55,000 video testimonies, each one a unique source of insight and knowledge that oﬀers powerful stories from history that demand to be explored and shared. The testimonies are preserved in the Visual History Archive, one of the largest digital collections of its kind in the world. They average a little over two hours each in length and were conducted in 65 countries and 43 languages. The vast majority of the testimonies contain a complete personal history of life before, during, and after the interviewee’s firsthand experience with genocide.
