Dear Ekaterina. In our department we use Siemens 3T MRI for fMRI. Please contact with my asistant dr Lukas Grabarczyk e-mail: [email protected]

Best regards

We have a 3T siemens trio scanner used for research either for structural or functional MRI. We have performed many different types of studies including distinct stimulation (visual, auditory, olphatory, etc) and it worked well for all of them.

Ekaterina V. Pechenkova

Thank you! Yes, I would prefer Trio as well :) So far it seems to be the best research scanner. But other Siemens scanners can be used for fMRI as well.
