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.

Exploring the infant brain with fNIRS

Testing young babies, between 0 and 2 years of age, is definitely fun, but it also comes with challenges. We asked several developmental researchers to point out the main difficulties they typically encounter and what features an infant-friendly NIRS should have. So, what are these challenges and what can researchers and technology do to overcome them?

How to clean your Artinis NIRS systems and accessories?

COVID-19 has had a major impact on all of us. For a while, Universities were closed and research was put on hold. Now slowly but surely, we are going back to the labs and starting our experiments again. NIRS experiments include contact with patients and research participants, we therefore find it important to inform you about how to clean the Artinis NIRS devices.

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!

Using fNIRS to study emotions in virtual reality environments

Have you ever watched a horror movie or read a really gripping thriller that made you skip a beat or two at the climax? If you know what I’m talking about, then we can agree on something: our minds are connected to our bodies in such a way that the emotions we experience cause physiological changes on us.
