• System must continue to support our existing 128-channel EEG "nets" that represent a significant investment
• System must be compatible with use in a strong magnetic field and certified as MR-compatible at 3T
• System must support the 3-dimensional triangulation of either 128 or 256 electrodes using a portable scanner device
• System must include software for compositing together EEG/ERP data with relevant MRI and fMRI data.

Period of Performance
90 days from receipt of award.
