- STATEMENT OF WORK FOR ACQUISITION OF BRAIN VOYAGER QX SOFTWARE 1.0 BACKGROUND The Warfighter Performance department at Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) has multiple projects to investigate the neural factors underlying optimal performance in extreme environments. Essential to clarifying these factors is the elucidation of certain brain-behavior relationships in elite performers. This is accomplished by evaluating the relationship between brain activity during various cognitively and emotionally challenging laboratory tasks in Marines and Navy personnel. Brain activity is collected using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) which requires advanced fMRI software for analysis and visualization of data. NHRC wishes to acquire Brain Innovation's BrainVoyager QX software package and EEG addon package. These two software packages will allow for specific region of interest analyses and advanced surface-based analyses of fMRI data as well as analysis and detailed visualization of EEG data. 4I1II.Ja The Warfighter Performance Department at NHRC has the need for Brain Innovation's BrainVoyager QX fMRI analysis software with the following features: 1.) Program-free usability: We do not have the expertise to program the advanced fMRI analysis algorithms into Matlab or other program. BrainVoyager software provides the most advanced fMRI data analysis methods without requiring advanced programming skills. 2.) Pre-Processing of data: BrainVoyager QX allows for mean intensity adjustment, inter-slice time correction, 2D and 3D motion correction, spatial and temporal bandpass filtering, Gaussian smoothing, and removal of linear and higher order trends in time course data. These can all be easily applied to the fMRI data using BrainVoyager without the need for additional programs, time or expertise. 3.) Statistical data analysis and visualization: This software allows for parametric statistical mapping such as linear correlation, cross-correlation, general linear model and deconvolution analysis. Statistical analysis that is pre-programmed into the software without the need for additional processing will increase the efficiency of data analysis. 4.) EEG/MEG Module: BrainVoyager allows the import, preprocessing and analysis of raw and averaged EEG data. This is necessary for adequately visualizing the BEG data we collect and comparing it with the fMRI data. 5.) In-House Analysis: NHRC needs the capability to analyze fMRT data on computers separate from those at the UCSD Keck Center for fMRI. Currently fMRI data must be analyzed on computers at the UCSD facility, but with the purchase of BrainVoyager, NHRC will have the ability to analyze the data in-house.
