Open fMRI

Open fMRI is a brain imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of brain activity. Unlike traditional MRI machines, which are enclosed and can feel claustrophobic, open fMRI machines have an open design, making it more comfortable for patients and allowing easier access for certain tasks. It helps researchers and doctors observe how different parts of the brain activate during specific activities or thoughts, aiding in understanding brain functions, diagnosing conditions, and guiding treatments. Its open structure improves accessibility while providing high-quality imaging of brain activity.
