BIAC has recently purchased and set up a new Vera MRI Simulator from Psychology Software Tools to replace the old mock scanner used for many years. This simulator includes an automated table, lights and fan, and provides an improved platform for potential subjects to experience what it will be like in the actual MRI machine. Like before, you can display tasks to the subject, as well as play MRI sounds for various sequences.
The new mock scanner, including the new Mock testing room, can now be found in room 1812M, conveniently located beside the lockers. The computer that was previously in the Mock testing room has been moved there as well. We will be making some minor improvements to the display set up to better match the stimulus computers at the actual scanners.
