The NUMMENMAA LAB at Turku PET Centre is dedicated to unraveling the neurochemical and functional mechanisms that support human emotions, as well as their dysfunction in various psychiatric and neurological disorders. The lab focuses on studying system-level biological circuits from the brain to the periphery, particularly the endogenous opioid, dopamine, and endocannabinoid systems.
The lab combines state-of-the-art nuclear medicine imaging with advanced signal analysis, large-scale neuroinformatics, and modern clinical psychology to measure the brain's molecular organization and function using PET and MRI. It also conducts behavioral research using eye tracking and mobile recording techniques. Led by Lauri Nummenmaa, the lab is funded by the European Research Council, Academy of Finland, and other institutions.
SPM is a free and open-source software package for the analysis of brain imaging data sequences, supporting fMRI, PET, SPECT, EEG, and MEG. Developed by Karl Friston at University College London, it aims to facilitate statistical analysis of functional imaging data.
