ALA BrainDancer -fMRI Calibration System for Brain Imaging

Your fMRI signal is dynamic.

Why isn’t your phantom?

With BrainDancer® you get:

• Cleaner signal
• Stronger results
• Better integration of fMRI data across scanners and sites

Please call or email ALA Scientific for more information.

BrainDancer® is a commercial-grade dynamic phantom, designed to identify and correct systematic scanner-induced noise using our deep learning algorithm, NoiseNet™. BrainDancer® dynamic phantom not only improves the signal-to-noise ratio, but can also be used for standardization of protocols and normalization between scanners.

• Pneumatically controlled movement
• Rotating inner cylinder to produce T2* changes within voxels
• Imitates BOLD amplitudes of human brains
• Motion is synchronized with MR scanner
• Externally triggered programmable sequences
• NoiseNet™ software for temporal noise estimation included

Laboratory for Computational Neurodiagnostics
LCNeuro’s research focuses on the application of control systems engineering and dynamical systems to human neuroimaging
