The Bergen fMRI Group is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Bergen (UiB) and Haukeland University Hospital with interests in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

The research is focused on brain activation studies related to a broad spectre of cognitive functions, including laterality, speech and language, working memory, attention, cognitive control and emotions. The group is also involved in research related to voxel-based morphometry, perfusion/diffusion imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopy, EEG and neuroinformatics, using a range of statistical tools and software.

The fMRI Group collaborates with several clinical research groups particularly with regard to psychiatric disorders and different forms of language disorders (dyslexia, specific language impairment, aphasia). A particular focus is on the study of auditory hallucination sin schizophrenia, and dichotic listening studies of cognitive control.

The group is member of the Nordic Center of Excellence on Cognitive Control (NCoE) funded by the Nordic Council (NOS), and is the recipient of an European Research Council Advanced Grant (ERCAdG) through professor Kenneth Hugdahl.
