One
of the major functions of the human brain is to mediate interactions with
other people. Until recently, studying brain social interactions has not been
possible due to the lack of measurable methods to observe two interacting
minds simultaneously. We have
developed a novel twin-head MRI coil that can scan two subjects brains
simultaneously while the subjects are socially interacting in one MRI
scanner. Meanwhile, an even-odd mode scheme for decoupling two quadrature
coils (not surface coils) is validated.
