Host
BIOPAC SYSTEMS, INC. - U.S.A.

Many studies have been published using a hand dynamometer both inside and outside the MRI to objectively quantify exerted effort during experiments most commonly related to the study of motivation. This webinar will focus on this topic and go over everything you need to know to record hand dynamometer data inside the MRI or in the lab.

What We Will Cover:

  • Setup in the MRI and inside the lab
  • Calibrating the signal in terms of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)
  • Real-time access to the hand dynamometer signal by third-party applications
  • Overview of how researchers have used this equipment
  • How to create a visual task that provides feedback on exerted effort as well as rewards to the participant
  • Tips and tricks for good data
