LUMICA goes beyond improving patient comfort. Our system makes it easy for a single technician to show high quality displays of stimuli for functional MRI (fMRI) studies from any digital source. Entertainment and anxiety reduction is especially valuable in children and motion-sensitive acquisitions, including diffusion and tractography.
The technologies that underlie SMRT Image were created originally to handle the most challenging problems in MRI and Neuroscience. As a leader not only in MRI applications, but also in MRI hardware and software development, Cohen has guided SMRT's development to create devices that perform reliably, safely, and seamlessly. Lumica arose from years of refinement through thousands of clinical and research studies with dozens of investigators.
You can use popular packages, such as Matlab, PsychoPy, Psychtoolbox, OpenSesame, Presentation, Inquisit, or ePrime, or you can design your own stimulus paradigms on your local computers and play them through Lumica’s HDMI port. Whatever the paradigm source, you’ll get active audio noise cancellation and a crisp and bright high-resolution display.
Compressed streaming videos are decoded with minimal latency, ensuring that image presentations are aligned precisely with the scanner data acquisition. LUMICA's HDMI output option allows frame-by-frame video timing accuracy, even for highly demanding MRI/EEG studies.
Our HD optical engine results in uniform color and brightness across the display. Pixel-perfect focus is guaranteed - without setup or calibration.
