Palmar attachment recommended, with “UP” label facing out (shown below left).
If a protocol requires posterior (dorsal) attachment, the “UP” label must be placed toward skin for optimum response (shown above right).
Use this transducer to record finger flexion/extension responses from human subjects in the MRI. The transducer conforms to the shape of the finger and attaches via Velcro straps.
MRI Use: Conditional to 3T
Condition: Conductive parts of transducer are electrically and thermally isolated from subject. (See Specifications for components.)

Many studies use hand dynamometry to objectively quantify exerted effort during experiments most commonly related to the study of motivation.
We’ll focus on this topic and go over everything you need to know to record dynamometry data in the MRI or in the lab. Topics include
– Calibrating for maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)
– Real-time access to the dynamometer signal by third-party applications
– How researchers have used this equipment
– Creating a visual task that gives feedback on exerted effort as well as rewards to the participant

Discovering and understanding what motivates humans to produce better results has intrigued many researchers. Many researchers have explored the psychophysiological processes that drive our behavior. Here are some recent studies that have used BIOPAC systems to research motivation… Motivation and Pleasure Deficits Undermine the Benefits of Social Affiliation in Psychosis. Blanchard, J. J., Smith, J. […]
