Compatible with MRI
Germany Qs Tactile Stimulation SystemQs piezoelectric haptic stimulator is a mechanical haptic stimulator, i.e., a mechanical haptic stimulation using functional imaging methods (e.g., MEG, fMRI, or EEG) without diagnosis in order to study the corresponding psychological processes and the mechanisms of their occurrence. The system consists of a master device capable of communicating with a computer via USB and several matrix stimulus modules capable of emitting mechanical forces. The master device has separate input and output trigger signal ports that enable synchronization between stimulus and test. For complex experiments, the system can even be upgraded with up to 16 cards to stimulate or trigger inputs or outputs with timing accuracy up to 0.5 ms. |
Applications
Tactile sensation is a stimulus influenced by a combination of multiple factors that initiate a pattern of activation through the stimulus site. A series of mechanoreceptors and neural pathways are activated. The signal generated by the stimulus can be transmitted to the spinal cord via either of two types of afferent fibers (Abeta fibers and unmyelinated C tactile fibers), which in turn are transmitted to the cerebral cortex to form tactile information. qs piezoelectric tactile stimulators can be used to.
