- Description
- Detailed Description 1. Description: This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The NIMH currently owns an EGI amplifier for doing high-frequency sampling of the electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG provides researchers a measure of human brain activity. Through the addition of neuromodulation in this upgrade, users can use this technology to perturb neural circuits. Neuromodulation methods often work on either a disruption or enhancement model. In addition, many studies feature tDCS and tACS for treatment of clinical disorders, yet the underlying systems that these techniques impact are not currently well understood. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this project is to upgrade our existing MRI-compatible EEG/ERP amplifier to include additional hardware supporting transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). The combination of these devices will allow users of the FMRI Facility (FMRIF) to acquire continuous EEG measurements on participants inside an fMRI scanner and perform neuromodulation (tDCS/tACS) to perturb and enhance neurobiological networks studied using both EEG and fMRI Project requirements: The salient characteristics of this system include requirements for: · Generic Name: Neuromodulation EEG Amplfier with 256 channels · General description: This is a purchase for an upgrade to our existing EEG/ERP amplifier by the same manufacturer to add neuromodulation features. (128-channel manufactured by Electrical Geodesics Inc.) The system must be compatible with our existing EGI EEG System and peripherals. The system includes support for current injection using the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). Up to 256 independently programmable tDCS or tACS channels for stimulation. Capable of recording from 256 channels concurrent for high-density EEG/ERP with neural stimulation (tDCS or tACS). Quantity: One upgraded system with associated support hardware and software
