Spoke with staff of the Functional MRI Facility, who purchased similar equipment in the past. Dr.
van Gelderen and I looked at the SR Research system installed on the fmrif7a MRI system at the
NIH. Dr. van Gelderen talked to various vendors at the recent ISMRM annual meeting in London,
UK. I performed a web search and contacted various vendors (e.g. Avotec, who could not provide
a system that would work for us).
