A Polymer Thick Film on an organic substrate Grid Electrode for UHF MRI.

Recent advancements in neuroimaging involve the development of a novel electrocorticography (ECoG) grid. This grid is crafted using a polymer-thick film on an organic substrate (PTFOS), a design that offers several significant improvements over conventional ECoG grids, including Reduced Imaging Artifacts: The PTFOS grid produces negligible artifacts on MR images image quality of brain tissue overlaid with PTFOS grids. Lower Temperature Increase During MRI: In a 30-minute MR imaging session, temperature increases with the PTFOS grid were extremely low (0.

A Polymer Thick Film on an Organic Substrate Grid Electrode and an Open-Source Recording System for UHF MRI: An Imaging Study.

Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a critical tool in preclinical neuroscience research for studying global network activity. However, integrating ECoG with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has posed challenges, due to metal electrode interference with imaging quality and heating around the metallic electrodes. Here, we introduce recent advancements in ECoG grid development that utilize a polymer-thick film on an organic substrate (PTFOS).

An open-source hardware and software system for acquisition and real-time processing of electrophysiology during high field MRI.

Simultaneous recording of electrophysiology and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a technique of growing importance in neuroscience. Rapidly evolving clinical and scientific requirements have created a need for hardware and software that can be customized for specific applications. Hardware may require customization to enable a variety of recording types (e.
