Brain imaging equipment - gaijin - 22-01-2006 Is it possible to purchase inexpensive portable brain imaging equipment? I saw on TV brain experiments with simple looking devices which are bowl shaped and simply sit on the subject's head like a hat. This is attached to a computer which records the results. Is this positron emission tomography or something else? I would like to do simple experiments using such equipment if possible (such as observing the results during a learning task). Is this type of equipment available to mere mortals? Thank you. Brain imaging equipment - Christina - 22-01-2006 Hi Gaijin, This equiptment is generally very expensive. Your best bet is to try to locate a research lab near you that owns the equipment. Best of luck, Christina
