The present disclosure relates to a system for generating a predefined electrical signal in an MR scanner for use in electrical stimulation of a subject during MRI or functional MRI of said subject, wherein said MR scanner is located inside a shielded MRI room. The system comprises a control unit to be located outside the MRI room for generating an electrical signal and an electrical to optical converter to be located outside the MRI room for converting said electrical signal to a corresponding optical signal. An optical transmitting element, such as an optical fiber, is used for transmitting the optical signal into the MRI room, and an optical to electrical converter is used for converting the optical signal to said predefined electrical signal for electrical stimulation of the subject during magnetic resonance imaging. The optical to electrical converter is configured for being located inside the MRI room and for operation during magnetic resonance imaging.
A system including an MR scanner for generating a predefined electrical signal in said MR scanner for use in electrical stimulation of a subject during functional MM of said subject performed in said MR scanner, said MR scanner located inside a shielded MRI room, the system comprising:
A method for generating a predefined electrical stimulation signal for electrical stimulation of a subject during functional Mill wherein said subject is located in an MR scanner located inside a shielded MM room, the method comprising:
