Abstract

A virtual fMRI facility was needed to habituate Persian Gulf War Veteran subjects, participating in a pain perception study, to a real fMRI environment similar to a 3 Tesla facility located in the Advanced Imaging Center at UMDNJ. To accomplish this, an automated hardware and software system was developed using a decommissioned MRI unit, ergonomic mouse, Finapres™ Continuous Blood Pressure (BP) Monitor, Dinamap™ Automatic BP Monitor, audiovisual feedback system, Medoc™ Thermal Sensory Analyzer (TSA), and LabVIEW™ 7.0 software. After the creation of the system, tests were conducted to determine if an individual would be more comfortable and less nervous after repeated trials in the virtual fMRI. © 2006 IEEE.
