Design of an FMRI-Compatible Analogue and Digital Joystick

Jonathan Howard¹, Rexford Newbould¹

A wide variety of neuroscience experiments require the use of an fMRI-compatible joystick. Several commercial models are available, generally using fibre-optic position and switch detection. However, these devices can be cost-prohibitive, especially for smaller fMRI studies without large funding levels. Further, fibre-optic devices
