When the Bender Institute of Neuroimaging (BION) was founded in 2000 by Prof. Dr. Dieter Vaitl, it was the first institute in Germany to put a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system into operation within a psychological department. From the beginning, it was the objective of the institute to enable groups from the field of psychology to use an MRI system in order to study the neurophysiological basis of psychological processes. Fifteen years later, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the most prominent research method in the multidisciplinary neuroscience research field. Due to the high operating costs, it makes sense to optimize the utilization of the scanner and to organize the BION as a research core-unit with a local but also a nation-wide presence. The aim of the present application is to increase the support more professionally, efficiently and supportively for its users. These planned advancements will attract new researchers from inside as well as, especially, from outside of Justus-Liebig-University Giessen. In line with this goal, the BION will be listed in the RIsource portal of the DFG. For this purpose, infrastructural resources need to be professionalized in a way that all users receive optimal support for planning, conducting and statistical analyses of psychological experimental designs depending on their demands by the program PLEASURE (PLanning, Experimental and Analysis SUpport in REsearch). The program PLEASURE includes the development of new services which proceed the experience gained in the last 15 years of psychological MRI research. Because all services and resources will be transparent and accessible, it could be a prototypical model for other sites. The BION is predestined to be a DFG MRI core unit (Gerätezentrum) in psychology for the following reasons. Firstly, a modern 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Tomograph is available exclusively for research. Scan times are not interrupted by patient care. Experimental set-ups do not have to be removed after each experiment. Secondly, a large number of state-of-the-art equipment highly relevant for psychological research questions (e.g., simultaneous fMRI-EEG recording amplifier, eye-tracking equipment, visual, acoustic and tactile stimulation devices, response box units) is available. Thirdly, the BION is highly experienced in organizing external cooperation projects. Fourthly, the BION is located in the middle of Germany; with excellent national and international accessibility via Frankfurt train station and Frankfurt airport.

2000 年，Dieter Vaitl 教授博士创立了本德神经影像研究所 (BION)，它是德国第一家在心理科内投入使用磁共振成像 (MRI) 系统的研究所。该研究所的目标是让心理学领域的团体能够使用 MRI 系统来研究心理过程的神经生理学基础。 十五年后，功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 成为该领域最重要的研究方法。由于运营成本较高，优化扫描仪的利用率并将 BION 组织为一个在本地乃至全国范围内存在的研究核心单位是有意义的。这些计划的进步将吸引来自内部以及吉森大学外部的新研究人员，以实现这一目标。列出在为此，基础设施资源需要专业化，以便所有用户根据 PLEASURE 计划（规划、实验和分析）的需求，获得对心理实验设计的规划、实施和统计分析的最佳支持。 PLEASURE 计划包括开发新的服务，这些服务继承了过去 15 年心理 MRI 研究中获得的经验，因为所有服务和资源都将是透明且可访问的，因此它可以成为一项新服务。出于以下原因，BION 注定成为心理学领域的 DFG MRI 核心设备（Gerätzentrum）。首先，现代 3 特斯拉磁共振断层扫描仪可专门用于研究。其次，每次实验后都不需要移除大量与心理学研究问题高度相关的最先进的设备（例如，同时进行的设备）。配备fMRI-EEG记录放大器、眼动追踪设备、视觉、听觉和触觉刺激装置、反应盒单元。第三，BION在组织外部合作项目方面经验丰富。第四，BION位于德国中部。 ; 通过法兰克福火车站和法兰克福机场可轻松抵达国内和国际。
