  • Employed similar paradigms to assess the effects of MR scanner noise.
  • Focused on analyzing neural behavior within the human visual cortex.

    • Main Results:

    • The primary visual cortex was found to be actively involved in the 'illusory double-flash' phenomenon.
    • Gradient acoustic noise from MR scanners was shown to interfere with neural activity.
    • Evidence suggests MR scanner noise disrupts normal neural functioning in the visual cortex.

    Conclusions:

    • Cross-modal interactions are demonstrable using paired-stimuli paradigms.
    • MR scanner acoustic noise presents a significant confounding factor for visual neuroscience research.
    • Further research is needed to mitigate the effects of scanner noise on visual processing studies.
