At CCBBI, we integrate a variety of ancillary neuroimaging tools to support comprehensive and interdisciplinary neuroscience research.
- Our Prisma scanner includes a 20-channel and a 32-channel phase array receiver head coil.
- Behavioral responses can be mapped through Behavioral Response Devices:
- Utterances can be recorded via a high-quality, MRI compatible fiber optic speech recording system.
- A state-of-the-art rear-projection screen is powered by a 3-chips DLP projector. The projector has a light engine with 13-bit intensity control per channel. This allows the presentation of subtle visual details near or below detection threshold.
- Native setting: 1280x1024 at 60Hz
- Rear-projection screen: 55.1 pixels per visual degree
- Display height: 24.0 cm
- Viewing distance: 74 cm
- Native gamma: 1.0 (linear)
- 13-bit gamma table
- Both Analog (VGA) and DVI input
- An EyeLink remote eye-tracker device is calibrated to monitor subject eye movement during fMRI scans.
- Sampling rates: 250, 500, and 1000 Hz
- Accuracy: 0.25-0.5 degrees average
- A HiFi MRI compatible auditory stimulus system is also available to researchers.
- MRI Compatible Eyeglasses
- Sphere lenses from +/-0.12 to +/-20D
