&nbsp;We also have over 50 core processors in the High Performance Computing Center at UF. &nbsp;We have multiple machines configured for Windows. &nbsp;The personnel in the PI\u2019s laboratory have direct access to all LINUX and HPC cores. &nbsp;All of these computers are linked via sFTP to the AMRIS facility and backup storage in the College of HHP.&nbsp; Finally, there are four Dell Precision m4600&nbsp; laptops for fMRI data collection and analysis, and two Dell Inspiron Laptops for data entry and analysis. &nbsp;All windows machines are equipped with LabView and MATLAB for data collection and analysis of the force output data recorded during fMRI.&nbsp; Finally, we have a Motion Monitor system&nbsp; (version 8)&nbsp; running on a Dell Precision T3500.&nbsp; The Motion Monitor system integrates and synchronizes wireless EMG, 256 Biosemi EEG, Vicon Bonita 10 camera system, and up to 16 24 bit A\/D signals.&nbsp; The laboratory has over 30 TB of storage dedicated for neuroimaging research studies.&nbsp; The laboratory maintains an active license for EMSE from Source Signal for electrophysiological analysis.&nbsp; The laboratory maintains a software license for
