No but what _might_ work is a VR headset and headphones so that when they do go into the real MRI they can experience some kind of fun analogue, like they are lying in a colourful forest being rolled into a carved out wooden log, watching birds fly over and so on. Something like this: https://youtu.be/VgCPMkNlkSI?feature=shared&t=48 https://youtu.be/VgCPMkNlkSI?feature=shared&t=48
- lawlessone 3y agoHonestly that sounds awesome but the huge magnets might dismantle the vr headset .
- xattt 3y agoEverything used close to or within a scanner seems to be steampunk version of the electronic equivalent: the call bell is pneumatic, headphones are 1970s airplane style airphones, and video displays to use for image recognition/memory recall research are some periscope contraptions. I think a refracted VR display made of ulexite-like glasses might have a place.
- junon 3y agoThat'd be difficult given how an MRI works. Plus, VR wouldn't really be necessary given that the patient typically can't move their head. There do exist non-metallic goggles and headphones that pipe in the stuff from external electrical sources in a non-electrical way to the patient, as you can see in the video below. I'm not sure how ubiquitous those are, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz8sVSZVsPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz8sVSZVsPc
