Questions about BOLDfonic?

 

BOLDfonic delivers high-fidelity acoustic stimuli for fMRI while also attenuating scanner noise. Our electro-dynamic driver technology uses the magnetic field of the MRI scanner to drive the headphone membranes. This results in powerful speakers with an excellent frequency response across a wide dynamic range. A novel USB sound processor with automated synchronous triggering capabilities and a fully–loaded amplifier system provide all the controls you need for rigorous multimodal EEG/fMRI studies.

A range of headphones to suit any MRI system

The circumaural, closed-back headphone is available in a number of sizes and cable routing arrangements to suit different headcoil designs (please refer to the table below). It offers superior gradient noise dampening compared to simple pneumatic, air tube solutions. Where space permits, soft, memory foam cushions can also be inserted between the head and contact points of the coil to provide even better isolation, reduce bone conduction and improve patient comfort.

A unique electro-dynamic driver uses the magnetic field of the MRI scanner to drive the headphone membrane. This results in powerful speakers with an excellent frequency response across a wide range. An additional piezoelectric driver can be fitted to some designs, which enables those headphones to be used outside the bore too.

 

A design for any headcoil

Headphones are available in a number of sizes and cable routing arrangements to suit different headcoil designs.

When there is insufficient space for headphones, an earbud-style earphone option can be used. This simple and effective solution places the headphone driver unit just outside the coil, and delivers the audio to the ear via a very short airtube and passive earbud, maintaining the best possible sound quality.
