Run the system with a scan to view the scanner artifact on the neural recording. Look for any
saturation, and use the MRI Recording Processor gizmo interface to remove the scanner
artifact.
View the scan to determine if there are any image artifacts.
Repeat the above tests in steps 2-4 with your electrode using an agar gel or saline brain
phantom for a complete system test, from electrode to ampli
fi
er.

With electrode in subject, check the neural recording data quality on the table top before moving it into the
magnet. If there are issues, perform a standard saline test outside of the magnet as well.
