Announcing Artinis’ Acquisition of TMSi: A Strategic Partnership
We are proud to announce that Artinis has acquired TMSi. This acquisition allows both companies to leverage over two decades of combined expertise and technology, enabling us to offer even more advanced solutions for the medical and scientific markets.
Which experimental designs to use in fNIRS — Introduction
This is the introduction post of our blogpost series on experimental designs in fNIRS. In this blogpost, we explain what fNIRS measures, which general considerations have to be considered, and which frequent experimental setups we have for fNIRS.
Artinis Medical Systems elevates Marianne Floor-Westerdijk as the new co-CEO
Artinis Medical Systems B.V., the pioneer innovator in wearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology, announces a new chapter in its leadership with the appointment of Marianne Floor-Westerdijk, MSc. as co-CEO alongside Dr. Willy Colier. This transition coincides with the well-deserved retirement of Roeland van der Burght, Msc., who steps down from his role as CEO but remains part-time connected to Artinis as COO.
Beyond the Brain: Unveiling the Mind-Muscle Connection with Simultaneous NIRS
NIRS can be applied on any tissue enabling to measure brain and muscle oxygenation simultaneously. Read this blogpost to learn more about application areas employing NIRS on muscle and brain at the same time, recently published literature and solutions Artinis offers to make this possible.
Moving in Sync: How Brains Connect During Collaborative Ping Pong - A fNIRS Study
fNIRS is a suitable tool to be used in out-of-the-lab experiments that involve movement, as it is portable and relatively insensitive to motion artifacts. In this mini-study we internally tested the usage of fNIRS during a collaborative hyperscanning experiment that involves movement with our Brite Frontal.

Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Analysis approaches
When it comes to deciding on an appropriate data analysis approach in multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements, the soundest consideration factors ultimately depend on the research question at hand. Therefore, the analysis steps may vary from one study to another. Nonetheless, they can broadly be classified into two strategies: parallel data analysis and informed data analysis.
A guide on how to ideally apply an optode template using our (f)NIRS devices
Correctly applying optode templates especially when measuring on the brain can be challenging for many researchers. This blogpost explains, what an optode template is, and how a suitable template can be chosen and correctly applied to ensure proper measurements and good signal quality.
Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Experimental Design
Finding a suitable experimental design when performing multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements is an important step in every study. Read this blogpost to learn more about commonly used experimental designs and how those can be adopted in multimodal research.
