Is it possible to purchase inexpensive portable brain imaging equipment?
I saw on TV brain experiments with simple looking devices which are bowl
shaped and simply sit on the subject's head like a hat. This is attached to a computer which records the results. Is this positron emission tomography or something else? I would like to do simple experiments using such equipment if possible (such as observing the results during a learning task). Is this type of equipment available to mere mortals?

Thank you.

Hi Gaijin,

This equiptment is generally very expensive. Your best bet is to try to locate a research lab near you that owns the equipment.

Best of luck,
