Rutgers' fMRI "Preparation Room "

Sounds like you got polish your weapon in one room then run to the fMRI room before you explode. I hope there is not a hallway in-between the rooms.

Wow, can't wait to chat up that good looking lamp in the corner. See where it goes from there. Maybe light up a cigarette when it's all over. Hang out in the shade !

LOL, Floppy and Colm!!!

(And of course -- a round of applause to demo -- for actually posting the pic)!!

Ahem...judging by the decor -- I think that prep room could use a woman's touch.

Hey what are you guys doing w/ the neuroscientist specifically?

Is there a link explaining the research... Or is it just in the grant section of the forum which explains?


Hi, Andy451,

Dr. K's grant outline is still in the hands of the Rutgers IRB Committee, so the details are still not set in stone.  However, demo and Daveman had posted initial draft papers, provided by Dr. Komisaruk, related to the "Informed Consent" for the study.  They had been posted on this site, but when those technical problems recently occurred, I believe these papers got deleted from this site (along with other various posts in that particular thread).

Daveman had set up an interim site (due to concern that poiscenter.com might no longer be an appropriate domain).  Fortunately, the poiscenter technical problems have been resolved.

In the meantime -- you can find those initial papers at that interim site --
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/poiscenter/QzLxGvHAFZk.

The 7/12 post by Daveman, titled, "POIS Research - Dr. B. Komisaruk," will provide you with those papers. While not the final paperwork, they'll at least provide the general outline of the study.

Hope this answers your question!

Stef

Thank you, Stef !

On my iphone the link's attachments are blank but they "come alive" once I tap there with my finger!

Informed Consent does a good job of outlining the study.

Hi Demo,

In the other thread which got lost there was an excel questionnaire which we added some builds to. Have you got that one?

I for one would like to get the questionnaire finalised so we can complete it ASAP so when we get approval to commence the study the forms are ready.

Thanks - FloppyB

 repeat of earlier post




Per Dr. Komisaruk's recent email to me: "The device stimulates the vagus nerve projections to the brain, thus activating the brain regions to which the visceral organs normally send their information. Thus the stimulation may interact beneficially with the visceral input to the brain, which may have become disrupted, as represented by the POIS symptoms."

Interesting... My symptoms are mostly cognitive so I'd be curious to know how a removable vagal stimulator would help.

Hi Demo,

Thanks for the update. Will we be able to submit our applications for the study prior to this?

Ok, September 3rd. Thanks for the update.

Just a quick poll, how many people right now are thinking of going to participate in the trial? I definitely am hoping to participate!

FB, I think Rutgers IRB has to put their stamp of approval on using human subjects for POIS research before Dr Komisaruk can accept applications.

Maybe Stef can confirm this?
