Braincapmr

Manufactured by Siemens
Sourced in Germany

BrainCapMR is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for neurological applications. It is a specialized medical device that captures detailed images of the brain and central nervous system. The core function of BrainCapMR is to provide high-quality MRI scans for diagnostic and research purposes, enabling healthcare professionals to visualize the structure and function of the brain.

Simultaneous fMRI and EEG in Sleep Stages

Simultaneous fMRI and EEG was measured for a total of 73 subjects EEG via a cap (modified BrainCapMR, Easycap, Herrsching, Germany) was recorded continuously during fMRI acquisition (1505 volumes of T2*-weighted echo planar images, TR/TE  =  2080 ms/30 ms, matrix 64 × 64, voxel size 3 × 3 × 2 mm3, distance factor 50%; FOV 192 mm2) with a 3 T Siemens Trio (Erlangen, Germany). An optimized polysomnographic setting was employed (chin and tibial EMG, ECG, EOG recorded bipolarly [sampling rate 5 kHz, low pass filter 1 kHz] with 30 EEG channels recorded with FCz as the reference [sampling rate 5 kHz, low pass filter 250 Hz]. Scalp potentials measured with EEG allow the classification of sleep into 4 stages (wakefulness, N1, N2 and N3 sleep) according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) rules (54). Pulse oximetry and respiration were recorded via sensors from the Trio [sampling rate 50 Hz]) and MR scanner compatible devices (BrainAmp MR+, BrainAmpExG; Brain Products, Gilching, Germany), facilitating sleep scoring during fMRI acquisition. We selected 15 subjects who reached stage N3 sleep (deep sleep) and contiguous time series of least 200 volumes for all sleep stages. Previous publications based on this dataset can be consulted for further details (see, e.g., [68 (link)]).

EEG data was recorded via a cap (modified BrainCapMR, Easycap, Herrsching, Germany) continuously during fMRI acquisition (1505 volumes of T2*-weighted echo-planar images, TR/TE=2080 ms/30 ms, matrix 64×64, voxel size 3×3×2 mm3, distance factor 50%; FOV 192 mm2) at 3 T (Siemens Trio, Erlangen, Germany) with an optimized polysomnographic setting (chin and tibial EMG, ECG, EOG recorded bipolarly [sampling rate 5 kHz, low pass filter 1 kHz], 30 EEG channels recorded with FCz as the reference [sampling rate 5 kHz, low pass filter 250 Hz], and pulse oximetry, respiration recorded via sensors from the Trio [sampling rate 50 Hz]) and MR scanner compatible devices (BrainAmp MR+, BrainAmp ExG; Brain Products, Gilching, Germany) facilitating sleep scoring during fMRI acquisition 18, 19, 54 . MRI and pulse artifact correction were performed based on the average artifact subtraction (AAS) method 55 as implemented in Vision Analyzer2 (Brain Products, Germany) followed by objective (CBC parameters, Vision Analyzer) ICA-based rejection of residual artifact-laden components after AAS resulting in EEG with a sampling rate of 250 Hz 19 . Sleep stages were scored manually by an expert according to the AASM criteria 18 .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
