Dr. Ray Lee introduces a groundbreaking dual-head volume coil system for dyadic fMRI, enabling direct quantification of social interactions between two brains. This innovative technology, developed at Princeton Neuroscience Institute, allows researchers to observe and characterize complex dyadic relationships such as love and dominance in real-time. Its implications extend to diagnosing social cognitive disorders in psychiatry, paving the way for scientific approaches to relationship counseling. With demand from global markets, this advancement has the potential to transform neuroscience and mental health practices.

A Dyadic fMRI for directly quantifying Social Interactions Between Two Brains Ray Lee, PhD, Technical Director of Neuroimaging Facility Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton University
Dual-Head Volume Coil System Window • Dual-Head Volume Coil system is made from two volume RF • resonators. I (Lee R. et al, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2011, • accepted, ) • The technical breakthrough is that two circular-polarized RF • resonators are magnetically decoupled. • It can be directly plugged into any commercial MRI scanner
Applications • In neuroscience and psychology • Open up a new dimension, social dimension, of fMRI studies on human social cognition • Directly observe, quantify, and characterize dyadic relationships, such as love/lust, dominant/submissive, etc. • In psychiatry • It provides a unprecedented powerful tools to diagnose social cognitive defects, such as autism, schizophrenia, etc. • It has potential to transform relationship counseling from heuristic to scientific process
Business opportunity • I have received many letters of intent for buying this system from US, Europe, and Asia • Siemens market team flashed this development to their senior business decision makers. • If every MRI scanner installs this dyadic fMRI system, all investors will be …
