Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage devices, and systems are described for reducing movement of a patient undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. One method includes receiving a data frame from the MRI system performing the MRI scan of the patient, comparing the data frame to a reference image to assess motion of a body part of the patient during the MRI scan, generating stimulus to be communicated to the patient during the MRI scan based on a task of the MRI scan and the motion of the body part of the patient during the MRI scan, adjusting the stimulus during the MRI scan to adjust the task and as the motion of the body part of the patient changes, and communicating the stimulus to the patient during the MRI scan, wherein the sensory feedback includes at least one of a game, a movie, a cartoon, a shape, or an auditory signal.

Abstract: A processor (40) in a data processing system simultaneously loads multiple registers (60) with a single value for fast domain switching. A domain switch instruction asserts a register block write signal (112) along with the register write signal (116) when block writing the single value to the set of registers (60). Register address lines (110, 111) are decoded in two sets: a first set of decoded address lines (110) specifying a block of registers; and the second set (111) specifying one register in the block of registers. When the register block write signal (112) is asserted during a register write, the second set of decoded address lines (111) are ignored, and all registers in the block of registers (60) selected by the first set of decoded address lines (110) are simultaneously loaded with a common value. Additional drive requirements are solved either by adding a buffer (226) to each register bit, or by disabling (228) the feedback path (215) in each register bit during block writes.
