Stimulation Paradigm Library

stimulation%20paradigm

The Neurognostics’ fMRI suite includes an extensive library of ready-to-use stimulation paradigms. These tasks activate a patient's brain function and allow physicians to probe a wide variety of sensorimotor and cognitive brain functions. Each paradigm includes imaging protocols that are optimized to collect sufficient data while minimizing patient scanner time. Depending on the specific application, paradigms can also be combined to perform multiple assessments in a single scan session – potentially improving a patient’s surgical outcome.

"...providers can be confident that their fMRI examinations are clinically sound and used by other health care facilities..."

All patient stimulation tasks are administered through fDAD’s™ user-friendly software application. When coupling Neurognostics’ standardized paradigms with this application, providers can be confident that their fMRI examinations are clinically sound and used by other health care facilities from around the nation. By archiving all gathered subject interaction, the fDAD™ System also helps to greatly reduce both patient and physician risk.
