TRAINING ON FMRI COMPATIBLE EYE TRACKER IN THE 3T SCANNER ROOM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项提议的目的是让研究人员在监控受试者眼睛的同时获得核磁共振数据。首先，眼球跟踪是许多研究的必要实验对照。通过监测参与者的眼睛，研究人员可以确保眼球运动的差异不会导致认知和认知功能磁共振信号的差异。第二个，也许更有说服力的理由是将眼睛跟踪和功能磁共振相结合，这是它让研究人员能够解决的新研究问题。 目前，CMRR的3T扫描仪房间里的眼球跟踪器使用得不多。主要原因是知道如何使用它的人很少，学习的时间投入很高。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The aim of this proposal is to allow researchers to monitor subjects' eyes while simultaneously acquiring MRI data. First, eye tracking is a necessary experimental control for many studies. By monitoring participants' eyes, the researcher can make sure that eye movement differences are not causing differences in the fMRI signal that are attributed to perception and cognition. A second, perhaps stronger reason for combining eye tracking and fMRI are the new research questions it allows investigators to address. Currently, the eye tracker in the 3T scanner room at CMRR is not used much. The main reason being that very few people know how to use it, and the time investments for learning are high.
