The Advantages of Combining fNIRS and EEG for Brain Monitoring
It is widely recognized that combining fNIRS and EEG can lead to a better understanding of brain activity by improving temporal and spatial resolution. However, the positive effects of simultaneously using both modalities go way beyond this advantage. In this blogpost, we highlight further benefits of applying the fNIRS-EEG combination to assess brain function in cognitive states.
Publication overview 2024 - Studies measuring brain and muscle oxygenation simultaneously using our devices
NIRS can be used to measure brain and muscle oxygenation at the same time to get a complete picture on oxygen status in the body. We are happy that in 2024 an increased number of studies using NIRS on brain and muscle simultaneously in various application fields was released. Read this blogpost to learn more about application areas of NIRS to assess cerebral and muscular oxygenation, and highlighted publications of last year per category.
Which experimental designs to use in fNIRS — Block design
