List of peripheral equipment

Please add useful information about the use of the below equipment (and feel free to add equipment not listed)

USB scanner trigger

This is connected through an optical mouse to the scanner control PC, and sends a simulated mouse click when the scanner starts. If you use DDAs - discarded initial acquisitions - it will not send a click until the first acquired volume. Trigger pulses will only be sent out for functional (EPI) sequences.

The optical mouse will not be detected by the laptop or PC it is connected to until it sends an event; to ensure that the first trigger is not missed when scanning, please move and click on the mouse when it is first connected and before scanning.

Button boxes

NATA button box - please note these only send a signal the first time a button is pressed, even if the key is pressed continuously.

LUMITOUCH button box - these send a continuous signal if a button is pressed continuously.

Eye tracker

Headphones

Neuroconn tDCS

Note that this system is not compatible with the 32-channel head coil; only the old original Siemens head coil can be used.
