SIEMENS Neuro 3-D

Many new tools are available for imaging the brain for surgical planning. Neuro 3D in the lastest syngo MR B15 software provides a comprehensive diagnostic tool that utilizes cutting-edge imaging techniques such as BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). These imaging techniques have been mostly research in the past, but now they are clinical reality with new imaging te chniques and post processing BOLD imaging with DTI was performed on a patient with a known lesion inthe left hemisphere to assess a surgicalapproach. The neurosurgeon was concerned that damage would be done tothe patients motor skills.

The first important imaging technique is a 3D sequence loaded into Neuro 3D. In this case, a SPACE DarkFluid sequence was used to define tumor borders. syngo SPACE provides high isotropic resolution in a very short period of time using iPAT (integrated Parallel Acquisition Techniques). Next the GLM (General Linear Model) was loaded into Neuro 3D that was acquired from our 3D PACE epi bold sequence. The GLM was calculated inline with Inline BOLD imaging, so no post processing was needed to get the GLM. Next, the tensor data was loaded into Neuro 3D. This too was calculated inline, with Inline diffusion

E-PRIME3.0

Extensions for fMRI

E-Prime® Extensions for fMRI (EEfMRI) software is designed to optimize E-Prime® experiments for fMRI research. EEfMRI allows you to synchronize the start of your experiment with the first scanner trigger pulse along with several valuable features to enhance the control you have over your experiment.

Implementing EEfMRI into your current experiments is achieved by simply dragging and dropping the correct EEfMRI package calls into the E-Prime® experiment in the appropriate places. EEfMRI is designed to integrate with other PST hardware and software to increase usability for researchers while maintaining the millisecond accuracy of E-Prime®.

Features

Synchronization of the start of the experiment with the scanner trigger pulse Simplified logging of user-specified experimental events to tailor behavioral output for later analysis.

Easy to implement menu system that allows the experimenter to group multiple tasks into a single experiment and interactively choose which tasks to present at run time Ability to interrupt a running task in a controlled manner to restart tasks without terminating the entire experiment.

New documentation including samples and tutorials
Turnkey fMRI block sample (MapperOne.es2) based on a published experiment* that reliably activates important functional areas

BrainVoyager

Our flagship product BrainVoyager is a powerful neuroimaging software package for data management and data analysis. It started as a tool for the analysis of anatomical and functional MRI data sets but has evolved over the years into a multi-modal analysis tool for fMRI, DTI, EEG and MEG data. The software is highly optimized and user friendly running on all major computer platforms; the current version runs on Windows (7/8/10), Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora) and macOS (10.10 or higher).

BrainVoyager is a 64 bit program supporting analyses of large data sets that need more than 3 GB of RAM. In order to obtain maximum speed on each platform, BrainVoyager has been programmed in C++ with optimized and highly efficient statistical, numerical, and image processing routines. It supports on all platforms fast parallelized basic math routines using the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). The software also exploits modern multi-core, multi-processor hardware for the most demanding computational routines. Multiple parallel processing pipelines of modern graphic cards (GPU's) are used for real-time volume rendering, data filtering and sinc interpolation. The surface rendering environment ("surface module") has been implemented using OpenGL.

The interactive graphical user interface (GUI) has been built using the award-winning cross-platform Qt C++/QML toolkit from Digia (formerly Nokia and Trolltech). Using cross-platform C++/QML code for all aspects of the program, BrainVoyager provides a native and responsive user interface and powerful computational routines on all supported platforms.

Response key & Interface

4 Button Bimanual

Current Designs' fMRI response pad is the perfect choice for computer response tasks used in the human brain mapping project. It is non-magnetic, non-electronic, and entirely made out of plastic, so will not add noise to the images or raise safety concerns in the MR/MEG room or similarly demanding environments. There is a less expensive, non-MR trainer available for this response pad for use outside the magnet room. Note: Only one response device can be connected to an interface at a time. There is a two-handed version of this response device. If a bimanual devices is needed order HHSC-2x4-C instead of HHSC-1x4-CR and HHSC-1x4-CL.
