A normobaric gas mixer was developed to allow MR-based
hypercapnic vasoreactivity studies on humans. It
operates safely close to the magnet and can be remotely
computer controlled. Hypercapnic episodes with FiCO
2
less
than 10 % can be programmed to chain in succession for
prescribed numbers of MR scanner trigger events. Device
performance is demonstrated in a cerebral BOLD
block-designed fMRI experiment.
