In result, this is\u00a0<strong>good for the use on children<\/strong>, who feel uncomfortable with staying in conventional scanners. The devices mentioned at last, are large and one-size-fits-all. The difference with this mask is, that it can move its position and therefore <strong>match everyone\u2019s head<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently being used for patients with <strong>epilepsy to identify areas in the brain with abnormal activity<\/strong>, researchers hope to soon use the 3-D printed mask to scan other brain disorders, such as <strong>schizophrenia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WotxbpD0Vys?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":17655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
