BOLDscreen 23 LCD for fMRI

Questions about BOLDscreen 23?

 

BOLDscreen 23 is a legacy product that provides a simple, cost-effective way to present visual stimuli for 3T fMRI.

Like our other BOLDscreen LCD monitors, it's an "MRI Compatible" MR Safe display with no time lag and, of course, no interference with the scanner, even when positioned right at the exit of the bore.

Though not available for purchase any more, the BOLDscreen 23 is still fully supported by Cambridge Research Systems. This legacy page will include technical data, downloadable firmware updates as well as installation information. For alternatives to the BOLDscreen 23, please visit the BOLDscreen 32 and BOLDscreen 24 product pages.
