About this file
This purchase description outlines the need for a Brainsight Navigator system from Rogue Research, including the Brainsight software, tracking hardware, computer, electromyography capabilities and an upgrade kit for compatibility with magnetic resonance imaging. The National Institute of Mental Health seeks to use this system to precisely target transcranial magnetic stimulation to individualized brain regions while subjects are in an MRI scanner for a study exploring the use of real-time neurofeedback to control brain activation. Delivery is required within 60 days to the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The related federal contract opportunity posted by the Department of Health and Human Services and National Institute on Drug Abuse seeks this Brainsight Navigator system or equal with no specified response date or award date.

Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs
PURCHASE DESCRIPTION
1. Statement of Need and Purpose:
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible Brainsight Navigator for non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is needed to support the Study entitled, “Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Technique Development: Substudy 3 (Controlling Ongoing Cortical State during NIBS with Neurofeedback)" in order to precisely target the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) induced magnetic and electric field for concurrent TMS/fMRI projects based on individually determined locations and orientations. The Brainsight system is compatible with the MagVenture TMS Device that is also being used in the same study. The system includes all software and hardware and all of the components have been determined to be MRI safe.
2. Background Information and Objective:
The NIMH Strategic Plan for Research’s top goal is to “define brain mechanisms underlying complex behaviors”. The goal of the study entitled, “Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Technique Development: Substudy 3 (Controlling Ongoing Cortical State during NIBS with Neurofeedback)" is to explore the use of real-time fMRI neurofeedback to control the activated state of the amygdala while it is targeted transynaptically with short trains of 5 Hz rTMS using individualized fMRI-based targeting.
As there is significant inter-individual variability in functional network architecture and thus optimal region to modulate the desired brain regions and functional networks, the Brainsight System described will allow for individualized targeting. The individual’s functional and structural brain MRI will be uploaded into the system and be used to target the transcranial magnetic stimulation to a precise, individualized brain region while the person is lying in the MRI scanner. Rogue Research, Inc is the sole source of this device (see attached sole source letter).
