Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Staying in sync
In this second blog post, we discuss synchronization in multimodality. When using fNIRS and EEG simultaneously, synchronization of both data streams is crucial to achieve temporal correspondence between both signals. Read this post to learn more about how to get to the ideal synchronization solution for you, which can depend on different factors, such as device specifications, software capabilities and experimental setup.
Introduction to multimodal fNIRS — EEG measurements
In this blog post, we give an introduction to multimodality and explain the hallmarks, advantages, and challenges of combining fNIRS and EEG to measure brain activity. This is the first part of a blog post series on multimodality fNIRS-EEG measurements.
Short separation channels: the new trend in fNIRS
Short separation channels are the new trend in fNIRS. However, what is the functionality of such a short separation channel in brain oxygenation research?
Combining the world of NIRS and EEG
EEG and fNIRS are complementary measuring techniques. EEG measures electrophysiological brain activation, that is the electromagnetic field created when neurons in the brain are firing. fNIRS measures the hemodynamic response, that is the change of oxygen in the blood when a brain region becomes active. By combining EEG and fNIRS, a more complete picture of brain activity is obtained: activation of neurons and energy demand of neurons.
