  1. A Dyadic fMRI for directly quantifying Social Interactions Between Two Brains Ray Lee, PhD, Technical Director of Neuroimaging Facility Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton University

  2. Dual-Head Volume Coil System Window • Dual-Head Volume Coil system is made from two volume RF • resonators. I (Lee R. et al, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2011, • accepted, ) • The technical breakthrough is that two circular-polarized RF • resonators are magnetically decoupled. • It can be directly plugged into any commercial MRI scanner

  3. Applications • In neuroscience and psychology • Open up a new dimension, social dimension, of fMRI studies on human social cognition • Directly observe, quantify, and characterize dyadic relationships, such as love/lust, dominant/submissive, etc. • In psychiatry • It provides a unprecedented powerful tools to diagnose social cognitive defects, such as autism, schizophrenia, etc. • It has potential to transform relationship counseling from heuristic to scientific process

  4. Business opportunity • I have received many letters of intent for buying this system from US, Europe, and Asia • Siemens market team flashed this development to their senior business decision makers. • If every MRI scanner installs this dyadic fMRI system, all investors will be …
