Our story

Bergen fMRI Group

It all started with a flash!
In 1994 Kenneth Hugdahl was the first fMRI research subject, at the Bergen fMRI group, using a strobe light and a mirror mounted on the head coil.

First they had to create their own tools and then they started to create tools for others. In 2001 they founded NordicNeuroLab to support the growing community with the right tools and support.
