It is noted that the magnet chamber 104 may be a large magnet, while the magnet room 101 is a shielded room, and the external equipment room includes the equipment room 102 for storing equipment and the operating room 103 for operation, but may also be a room or a plurality of rooms, which may be adjusted according to specific situations.
Electrical signals are transmitted in the shielded cable 121 and the connection cable 125, and optical signals are transmitted in the optical fibers 122, 123. To avoid interference of the transducer 124 and the connecting cable 125 with the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, the transducer 124 is placed as far away from the magnet bore 104 as possible within the magnet room 101.

In order to make the tested person observe vivid high-definition virtual visual effect, two OLED screens 201 are preferably used to display video stimulation signals, two different images are generated, and the tested two eyes 204 can directly observe the images displayed on the OLED screens 201 through the VR eyepieces 202. Preferably, the resolution of a single OLED screen is 1080 × 1200, so that the combined resolution of 2160 × 1200 is achieved, and the dynamic refresh rate is larger than 85 Hz.
In order to avoid the OLED screen 201 from interfering with the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, the OLED screen 201 and the VR eyepiece 202 need to be placed in the faraday cage 203 to achieve electromagnetic shielding of the OLED screen 201.
The shielded cable 121 of the OLED screen 201 passes through the waveguide board 120, passes through the equipment room 102 to the operation room 103, is connected to the HDMI port 205 of the operation control component 114, and receives a video electric signal.
As shown in fig. 3, the virtual visual presenting component 111 and the auditory presenting component are schematically configured, and the virtual visual presenting component 111 is designed by using a head-mounted eye mask, so that a human subject is isolated from a real scene, and only a virtual real scene displayed in the virtual visual presenting component 111 can be observed, thereby obtaining a more real immersive virtual visual effect.
Virtual visual presentation component 111 utilizes eye shield frame 301 to fixedly support internal structures.
Auditory presentation assembly 112 includes an earmuff frame connected to eyecup frame 301, and an audio generator disposed within the earmuff frame.
Generally, the virtual visual presentation component 111 and the auditory presentation component 112 are two modules working independently, but the present application integrates the earmuff frame and the eyecup frame together, so as to improve the integration level of the device and realize an integrated VR virtual reality headset.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the internal partial structural diagrams of the virtual visual presentation component and the auditory presentation component are schematic.

The relative position between each OLED screen 201 and the corresponding VR eyepiece 202 is fixed and arranged coaxially; the faraday cage 203 is provided with a metal mesh shielding observation window 302 at one side close to the eyes of the testee, so that the left and right eyes of the testee can respectively observe two different visual stimulation images displayed on the OLED screen 201 through the VR eyepiece 202, and thus, an immersion virtual reality scene with a large 3D visual angle can be observed. VR eyepiece 202 preferably uses a Fresnel lens, which is lighter and thinner than conventional lenses.
A first distance adjusting component 303 for adjusting the distance between the left and right presenting components and a second distance adjusting component 304 for adjusting the distance between the VR eyepiece and the two eyes of the human subject are arranged on the eyeshade frame 301. The first spacing adjustment assembly 303 adjusts the distance between the left and right presenting assemblies to accommodate the distance between the eyes of different subjects. The second distance adjusting component 304 adjusts the distance between the VR eyepieces and the two eyes of the testee to adapt to the eye diopters of different testees, so that the testee can observe the clearest virtual reality scene.
The auditory presentation component 112 mainly adopts a special optical fiber type non-magnetic earphone for magnetic resonance to realize presentation of auditory stimulation signals at a tested end, and has a good noise shielding effect while meeting magnetic compatibility conditions.
The connection of the auditory presentation component 112 is through the waveguide board 120, through the equipment room 102 to the operator room 103, and is connected to the operation control component 114, and is mainly used to present various environmental sound effects in the virtual environment, and voice commands from the outside.
Because the head of being examined is fixed unable removal in the fMRI experimental process, consequently can't utilize the head to carry out the motion feedback operation, so this application sets up motion detection feedback subassembly 113 in the hand of testee and realizes the feedback function.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a framework of the motion detection feedback assembly 113, and the main motion detection feedback assembly 113 includes a trackball 401, a key handle 402 and a sports glove 403 to meet different requirements of fMRI experiment scene design.

To avoid the transducer 124 interfering with the operation of the magnetic resonance apparatus, the transducer 124 needs to be positioned within the magnet room 101 at a location remote from the magnet bore 104.
The operation control component 114 is provided with the operating software special for the VR virtual reality stimulation device, and the operation control component 114 receives the feedback information of the testee fed back by the motion detection feedback component 113, analyzes the feedback information, and immediately updates the virtual reality video and audio presented in front of the testee, so that the interaction function between the testee and the virtual reality environment is realized.
The virtual reality stimulation device for functional magnetic resonance imaging can realize the presentation of a 3D virtual environment with a large field angle, and can be matched with a motion detection device to realize the interaction of visual angle rotation, motion control and the like between a tested object and the virtual environment. The invention provides a method for combining VR virtual reality technology and fMRI to be used for researching human brain functions, and provides more real virtual environment interactive experience, so that the result of human brain area function activity distribution in different specific scenes under a real environment is obtained as close as possible.
