Cardioception with MRI #76

Closed npdrbong closed 1 year ago

Hi! Do you have a future plan with make a MRI version of this package?

In the code, there is a MRI option but device seems not compatible with MRI.

Hi @npdrbong ,

So the fMRi version of the task is something we have developed briefly in the past but we are not actively using it now. But I know that other groups are planning to scan the task in fMRI.

More generally in terms of packaging, we try to dissociate the interfacing with the recording device (that is handled by Systole) and the task itself we have in Cardioception, so we keep the code as modular and readable as possible and users can modify it by using different recorders. Currently, Systole support reading Brain Amp devices through ethernet, and this is a setup that can work for scanning in fMRI (you have to read a PPG channel and not the ECG though, and use the MRI-compatible device), but of course, it depends on the setup you have.

Thank you for kind instruction, @LegrandNico! Because our MRI center doesn't have brain amp devices, It seems difficult to use MRI with cardioception... Thank you a lot!
