A "Wearable" Brain Scanner for Studies of Human Interaction, Dementia,
  Movement Disorders, and More
From: Medical Design Technology - 05/22/2017

Julie Brefczynski-Lewis, a neuroscientist at West Virginia University (WVU),
has partnered with Stan Majewski, a physicist at WVU and now at the
University of Virginia, to develop a miniaturized PET brain scanner. The
scanner can be "worn" like a helmet, allowing research subjects to stand and
make movements as the device scans. This Ambulatory Microdose Positron
Emission Tomography (AMPET) scanner could launch new psychological and
clinical studies on how the brain functions when affected by diseases from
epilepsy to addiction, and during ordinary and dysfunctional social
interactions.
