Published requirement description

The Bangor Imaging Cerebral Physiology (BICP) lab is involved in research into the brain’s response to hypoxia and other environmental challenges. BICP has been awarded internal funding to enhance its’ imaging and measurement capabilities. The BICP therefore is looking to procure a robust and complementary set of equipment to extend its’ research from healthy young participants to patient cohorts.

Lots and requirements (5)Procurement structure

5 lots · no lot values published · evaluation weights differ by lot
Lot #1Portable functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system

The purchase of a portable and MRI compatible fNIRS device, which will provide a measure of regional cerebral physiology and blood flow that can be collected both in the Bangor MRI scanner, and in an environmental chamber.

The device will also allow a range of other research avenues - neurofeedback experiments to improve task-based efficiency, monitoring of cerebral responses in pharmaco-physiology studies, and monitoring functional changes in occupational rehabilitation after acquired brain injury, or in Parkinson’s disease, that will benefit the wider research community of the BICP in the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences
