Publication overview 2024 - fNIRS studies with our devices
In 2024, an increasing number of relevant literature measuring brain activity with our fNIRS devices have been published. In this blogpost, we discuss application fields and purposes of using fNIRS to measure in the brain, and highlight exciting studies published in the last year with Artinis devices per category. Further, we show recent publications using our devices in naturalistic settings outside of the lab.
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.
Measuring brain activity during playing a competitive checker game – a fNIRS hyperscanning mini study
In hyperscanning, brain activity and connectivity of multiple subjects are measured simultaneously during social interaction, for instance in competitive situations. fNIRS is often used as neuroimaging technology for hyperscanning in cognitive studies due to its portability and relative insensitivity to movement artifacts. In an internal mini-study, we tested the use of Brite Frontal to perform hyperscanning while participants played a competitive game of checker.
2fNIRS workshop: Hyperscanning with the OctaMon
Last week Artinis was present at the 2016 2f-NIRS conference in Montpellier, France. This two-day conference, titled NIRS signal: from acquisition to analysis, provided us with a great platform to give a mirror game workshop with two OctaMon devices.
