Portable Brain Scanner for Earth and Space

Gary Strangman, assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Neural Systems Group at Massachusetts General Hospital, is developing a portable brain scanner for use on earth and in space. Inter-cranial hypertension is a problem in micro-gravity, and this portable device will allow for monitoring of blood oxygenation changes and blood volume changes that might be related to elevated pressures.
