MRI-compatible data collection and monitoring system for neuroimaging studies in humans and non-human primates
FY 2018-19
Summary
This proposal details our request for funds necessary to purchase several devices and equipment that, together, form an integrated neuroimaging data collection and monitoring system integral to human and non-human primate neuroimaging at Queen's University. This system will support the research programs of multiple faculty members, from early career investigators to well-established, tenured faculty, including: Anita Tusche (Asst. Prof. Psychology/Economics), Jordan Poppenk (Asst. Prof. Psychology), Jason Gallivan (Asst. Prof. Psychology/Biomedical and Molecular Sciences), Gunnar Blohm (Assoc. Prof Biomedical and Molecular Sciences / Psychology / Math & Stats / School of Computing), Patrick Stroman (Prof. Biomedical and Molecular Sciences), Stephen Scott (Prof. Biomedical and Molecular Sciences), Martin Paré (Prof. Biomedical and Molecular Sciences) and Randy Flanagan (Prof. Psychology).*The requested system includes the following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible devices, critical to the success of any neuroimaging research program: (1) An audio device, for delivering auditory stimuli, (2) an in-bore camera, for monitoring subjects inside the scanner, (3) Button box equipment, for recording subject's behavioural responses, and (4) Biometrics equipment, for monitoring subject vital signs. All of these requested devices will either replace components that are faulty and unrepairable or, alternatively, replace devices that are now technologically obsolete (more than 12-years old old). All of these devices were being used by multiple trainees (including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research associates) of the co-applicants and is critical to the success of both ongoing and future NSERC-funded research projects. As such, failure to replace this data collection and monitoring system in a timely fashion will seriously impact a number of ongoing, and successful, research programs and prevent the launching of several exciting new research programs.*
