INTRODUCING, THE AM-PET HELMET.

Finally, a safe way to image the whole brain, in motion.

Welcome to the first truly mobile molecular brain imager that can be used on healthy people and upright patients to study the functioning of the human brain, during motion.

 

Nearly all brain imaging studies are conducted in rigidly static, seated, or prone positions with only the most minimal movement allowed. Yet nearly all our life involves active movements and interactions within a 3D environment! For the first time, we've devised a way to observe and model human brain activity during free movements.

 

With subjects and patients no longer restrained to a supine position, our device moves with the upright person. This enables you to look at a vast array of previously-unobservable neurological phenomena in natural behaviors and body movements.

 

 

 

 

Join us in carving out entirely new niches of research and clinical studies.

 

Since September 26, 2014, the AM-PET helmet is a collaborative effort among West Virginia University, University of California at Davis, University of Virginia, University of Washington, and GE Global Research.
