MRI equipment

SUBIC operates a Siemens Prisma 3 Tesla whole-body MRI. The system includes a 64 head/neck, a 20 channel head coil, as well as some additional small target coils.

The Prisma features “connectome” gradients with 80mT/m maximum gradient amplitude and 200 T/m/s maximum slew rate and a stabilized gantry that are optimized for DTI, along with and on-board GPU processor to allow rapid image reconstruction for multiband EPI and other high-throughput imaging. To facilitate behavioral neuroscience studies within the MR environment, SUBIC offers several ancillary equipment (see list below).

MRI laboratory
 

Among others, our ancillary equipment includes:

Visual presentation (NordicNeurolab, 4K UHD LCD display)

High-quality headphones (Optoacoustics)

Fiberoptic response pads (Current Designs)

Psychophysiological measures (BioPac MP160)

  • Galvanic skin response (GSR)
  • Heart rate
  • Breathing rate and magnitude
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Electric stimulus delivery

Eye tracker (TRACKPixx3, VPixx)

  • 2kHz binocular distance eye tracker, 1.7ms latency

Odor presentation system

  • Olfactometer with 8 odor channels

Low pass filters in the magnet room penetration panels allow custom interfacing of other stimulus and monitoring equipment using DB and BNC connectors.
