Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI)
The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital is a unique academic medical centre dedicated to neuroscience. Here multidisciplinary teams of basic and clinical scientists generate fundamental information about the nervous system and apply that knowledge to understanding and treating neurological diseases. In 2007, the Canadian government named the MNI as one of seven Centres of Excellence in Commercialization and Research in recognition of our innovative and outstanding work.

Centre for Research on Brain, Language & Music (CRBLM)
The Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM) was established in 2011 to foster interdisciplinary research in the social and neurobiological foundations of human communication, within the domains of language and music. Our long-term objective is to develop insight into the mechanisms the brain uses to make sense out of sound, to identify new and innovative methods to facilitate language and cognitive development, to improve learning skills and to treat disorders of human communication.

Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media & Technology (CIRMMT)
CIRMMT is a multi-disciplinary research group centred at the Schulich School of Music of Â鶹AV. It unites researchers and their students from several Quebec institutions - Â鶹AV, l’Université de Montréal, l’Université de Sherbrooke Concordia University, Ecole de technologie supérieure, INRS and Marianopolis College. The CIRMMT community is interested in interdisciplinary research related to the creation of music in the composer's or performer's mind, the performance of music, its recording and/or transmission, and the reception of music by the listener. It is also interested in the ways in which vision, haptics and touch interact with music and sound. Visit CIRMMT's for more information.Ìý

Â鶹AV Vision Research (MVRU)
At Â鶹AV Vision Research we have the common aim of understanding how the brain processes visual information and enables us to see. The combined expertise of faculty members, each with their own autonomously-funded laboratories located within one research centre, makes this a unit with a history of strong collaborative research and a world leader in the field of visual neuroscience.ÌýOur research approaches span different areas of visual neuroscience including human visual psychophysics, animal neurophysiology and optical imaging, computational approaches, human fMRI brain imaging, TMS, and clinical psychophysics.
