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.

Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Integration on the head

When simultaneously measuring fNIRS and EEG, placement of both devices should ideally ensure proper coverage of the desired measurement location, minimize interference and take into account (technical) characteristics and basic of both techniques. Read this blog post to learn more about relevance of these points and further recommendations for integrating fNIRS and EEG on one head.

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.

Combining Virtual Reality and wearable fNIRS

The application of Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming increasingly important in clinical and psychological research, for instance in exposure therapy or neurorehabilitation. fNIRS can be used to monitor brain activity during application of VR. We tested simultaneous use of VR and fNIRS with our new device, the Brite Frontal. Read in this blogpost, how this went and which advantages using fNIRS during VR application can demonstrate.

The Starstim fNIRS - Combining tES brain stimulation and EEG + fNIRS neuroimaging in one headcap

Starstim fNIRS is the most adaptable solution to combine tES brain stimulation with EEG and fNIRS neuroimaging in one single wireless and wearable system – and what makes it the most versatile solution for researchers and clinicians in many application areas. The possibility to combine tES with multiple neuroimaging modalities in one device facilitates altering human behavior and acquiring a more complete picture of the brain. It further increases application possibilities and reduces set-up and measurement time.

Artinis Literature Overview 2019 - Brain research

We are very proud to see our equipment used in a wide range of scientific research and continue to be inspired by the bright scientists who are our customers. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from all the publications last year is the fact that NIRS is no longer navel-gazing as a research field on its own, but it has reached out and found a new audience as a versatile research application that, even more than fMRI, is being used in more and more parallel fields. Here, we highlight some of the noteworthy elements of 2019’s publications.

Artinis at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping

At the OHBM conference, we had multiple people with previous NIRS experience ask us if you could really get a good signal with a wearable device on adults. We offered them the chance to try it out themselves; a quick setup resulting in a good signal within minutes quickly dispelled their initial doubts. Seeing is believing!
