| Camera | MRC Systems | 1280x960 camera that can be placed above participant's head |
| Active noise cancelling microphone | Optoacoustics FORMRI II | Microphone that cancels out sound of scanner |
For fMRI, to record the pulse from the scanner to synchronise your experiment, the NNL SyncBox will plug in and appears as a keyboard that will generate the character "s" every time a pulse is received.
Similarily, if you are uses the NNL response boxes they will be coded as button presses.
If you wish you may record the pulse oximeter and heart rate data during your scan, but you must request this prior to scanning.
If you have questions about the equipment, please contact Sojo Jospephs in the MRI suite.
