GUIDE TO A PERFECT HAPPY MODERN TRADITIONAL FINNISH FAMILY CHRISTMAS: THE BASICS
This project is rooted in the overconsumption and people’s psychology behind it, we choose Christmas as an agent to state our declaration. The guide is focused on the traditional Finnish Christmas, described in a rather ironic tone. It points out the necessities of the holiday, how and when it should be celebrated.

Decentralization of the decision-making: exploring the pros and cons of the current democratic system
Our group’s focus was on exploring the pros and cons of the current governmental decision-making model. The research covered the problems in the democratic decision making and searched for alternatives. The conclusion was that the current system is overloaded with problems dealing with human factors, bureaucracy and political entanglements, and that an ideal form of decision-making in the future should be based on long-set goals, long-term vision, facts over fiction, based on expert-driven committees, all this resulting in a feeling that the voters really can outspeak their minds and that every vote matters.

UltraÂ-High Field MRI: Transition to Human 7T in Finland
The Finnish Infrastructures for Functional Imaging (FIFI, functionalimaging.fi) brings together strong Finnish knowledge on magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS), ranging from animal to human studies. FIFI belongs to the Roadmap of Research Infrastructures of the Academy of Finland. The FIFI roadmap includes an ultra-Âhigh field 7T fMRI scanner that would likely be placed in the Aalto University and operate as part of the Aalto NeuroImaging (ANI, ani.aalto.fi​) research infrastructure, which currently houses stateÂ-ofÂ-theÂ-art MEG, 3T fMRI and nTMS systems. The target year of the acquisition of the 7T fMRI scanner was originally set to 2017.

MEG TwinCore
This proposal aims at upgrading the nation-wide, open-access magnetoencephalography (MEG) research infrastructure and strengthening it to the state of the future. MEG Core² will replace the existing MEG Core and will have a next-generation MEG system with the newest stimulation and monitoring techniques. Similarly to its predecessor, MEG Core² facility will be operated by the Aalto NeuroImaging (ANI), which is an open-access research infrastructure hosted by the Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering (NBE) at Aalto University School of Science. ANI is part of the Finnish Infrastructures for Functional Imaging (FIFI) for in vivo imaging within the Euro-BioImaging (Finland) consortium included in Finland's Strategy and Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2014-2020. This endeavour will foster education, training, and translational brain imaging in Finland.
