ETT Nuclear Magnetic Compatible Taste Stimulation System

Since conventional taste stimulation methods are often disturbed by magnetic fields or RF (radio frequency) pulses from MRI equipment, the researchers developed this NMR-compatible taste stimulation system to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results.

The system usually consists of a taste release device, a taste stimulus delivery line, a sniffer, and control software that accompanies the MRI equipment. In the experiment, researchers can set the taste type, intensity and stimulation timing through the control software to achieve precise control and recording of taste stimuli.

The application of ETT NMR-compatible taste stimulation system can help researchers to study research topics related to taste perception and the functional localization of taste nerves in the brain. It provides a non-invasive, precise and controllable method for research in the field of neuroscience and helps to reveal the working mechanism of the human taste system and its interconnections with other brain regions.
