It was designed by architecture practice IBI Group and built by construction firm BAM.
At four times larger than the University's existing brain research imaging facilities, the centre will create a range of highly skilled research jobs in Wales.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Riordan said: "We are honoured to welcome Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh to open the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre.
"This will be a fitting occasion for a facility that is not only significant for the University, but for Wales, the UK and Europe.
"The research here has the potential to unlock some of the secrets of the brain and significantly contribute towards treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions."
