Ancillary Neuroimaging Tools

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.
Configuration includes a state-of-the-art rear-projection screen 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
