The MindCORE Neuroimaging Facility houses a 3T Siemens MAGNETOM Cima.X MRI scanner, which is equipped with Gemini Gradients. These advanced gradients have the highest commercially available gradient strength in a whole-body scanner (200 mT/m at 200 T/m/s). The Cima.X scanner is equipped with scan sequences including: simultaneous multi-slice (AKA multi-band), RESOLVE, HASTE, and ZOOMit for performing functional, structural, diffusion, and ASL imaging. Available coils include 20-, 32-, and 64-channel head coils, large and small flex coils, and a spine coil. The MRI scanner bore is 60 cm.
The scanner room is equipped with MR-compatible behavioral equipment including: a BOLDscreeen 32 monitor, a Current Designs response system (button box and joystick), both in-ear and over-the-ear headphones, and an eye tracking system.
