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.**

这份建议书详细说明了我们为购买几种设备和设备所需的资金申请，这些设备和设备共同构成了皇后大学人类和非人类灵长类神经成像不可或缺的综合神经成像数据收集和监控系统。该系统将支持多名教员的研究计划，从早期职业研究人员到久负盛名的终身教员，包括：Anita tusche(心理学/经济学助理教授)，Jordan Poppenk(心理学助理教授)，Jason Gallivan(心理学/生物医学和分子科学助理教授)，Gunnar Blohm(ASSOC.生物医学和分子科学/心理学/数学和统计/计算学院教授)、帕特里克·斯特罗曼(生物医学和分子科学教授)、斯蒂芬·斯科特(生物医学和分子科学教授)、马丁·帕雷(生物医学和分子科学教授)和兰迪·弗拉纳根(心理学教授)。*所要求的系统包括以下与磁共振成像(MRI)兼容的设备，对任何神经成像研究项目的成功至关重要：(1)用于传递听觉刺激的音频设备，(2)用于监测扫描仪内对象的内置式摄像机，(3)按钮盒设备，用于记录受试者的行为反应；以及(4)生物识别设备，用于监测受试者的生命体征。所有这些申请的设备要么替换故障和不可修复的部件，要么替换现在技术上过时的设备(超过12年的历史)。所有这些设备都被共同申请者的多名受训人员(包括本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和研究助理)使用，对于正在进行的和未来由NSERC资助的研究项目的成功至关重要。因此，如果不能及时更换这一数据收集和监测系统，将严重影响一些正在进行的、成功的研究方案，并阻碍几个令人振奋的新研究方案的启动。
