[BIC-announce] users for new fMRI equipment

[Janine Mendola]

Dear Brain Imaging Colleagues,

    I am a relatively new faculty member that joined the Vision  
Research Group in Ophthalmology.  I am proposing a couple major  
pieces of fMRI-related equipment in a CFI grant application.  I  
wondered if other BIC users might be interested/benefit from this  
equipment and would be willing to be listed as potential users on my  
application.

1. Avotec System - fMRI compatible visual stimulus presentation that  
provides 1.) dual fiberoptic periscopes; 2.) built-in optical  
correction; and 3.) binocular real-time eye tracking.  Beyond the eye  
tracking, the most obvious application is the ability to present  
realistic 3D stimuli, or study other aspects of binocular vision.

2. Simulated MRI Environment (Mock Magnet) with head motion tracking/ 
training.  This is especially useful for studies of children or other  
‘delicate’ populations.  The vendor is Psychology Software Tools in  
Pittsburgh, USA.

cheers,
-Janine
