SyncBox
Overview
SyncBox: Solution designed to boost data quality for concurrent EEG and fMRI recordings
The SyncBox is a unique tool which significantly reduces timing related errors and boosts the quality of MRI artifact correction by synchronizing the clock of the BrainAmp MR system with the clock driving the MRI scanner’s gradient switching system.
Phase synchronization between the EEG equipment and the MRI scanner results in temporal stability of the EEG acquisition in relation to the switching of the gradients during the MR acquisition. This leads to significant improvement of the recorded data quality.
The SyncBox’s scanner interface and the appropriate clock output available in the scanner electronics cabinets are physically connected by using a galvanic coupling device to avoid any potential influence on the MR scanner system. More than 100 Brain Products users have already chosen this solution and are experiencing the added advantage in using it together with all major commercial MRI scanners available on the market. If you want to optimize your data quality then - join the crowd!
