An array of accessories seamlessly complement the TCS II and its stimulation probes, enhancing its versatility and functionality. These accessories are designed to integrate effortlessly with the system, expanding its capabilities and catering to diverse research needs. From a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible electric visual analog scale (eVAS) to innovative thermal probe supports, each accessory serves a unique purpose, allowing researchers to customise their experimental setups with precision and ease.
QST Accessories
Electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS): MRI Compatible
The electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS) is designed to enhance sensation and pain evaluation with unparalleled simplicity and precision. With its intuitive touchpad interface, participants can effortlessly slide their finger to indicate their response, providing real-time visual feedback. This real-time visual feedback illuminates the display within the MRI scanner tunnel in the MRI compatible eVAS. Equipped with three responsive buttons, this innovative system offers versatility for diverse experimental protocols. Seamlessly integrated with the Thermal Cutaneous Stimulator (TCS II) via fiber-optic cables, the eVAS ensures seamless data transmission and precise synchronisation.
Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) Plate
Boasting a temperature range spanning from 8 to 50°C and a robust battery life exceeding 2 hours, this hot/cold plate emerges as the ultimate companion for Conducted Pain Modulation (CPM) protocols. The CPM plate’s remarkable versatility enables standalone usage or seamless integration with either the Thermal Cutaneous Stimulator (TCS II) or a computer, affording you the flexibility essential for attaining optimal results in your research endeavours.
Digital to Analog Box
The digital-to-analog conversion box facilitates real-time exportation of temperature data from the Thermal Cutaneous Stimulator (TCS II). Seamlessly connecting to acquisition systems, it provides the facility for synchronisation with physiological and electrophysiological measurements, commonly collected using MR and EEG experiments, enabling comprehensive data integration for enhanced research insights.
MRI Compatible Thermal Probe Supports: Forearm/arm and Calf/leg
Designed to accommodate T04, T06, T08, and T09 probes, this support system ensures secure probe placement while providing added reassurance. With its robust construction, it facilitates optimal probe positioning and offers an extra layer of safety, allowing subjects to remove their limb at any time without compromising the integrity of the experiment.
