The Brite is WHOA
Wearable…anywhere & for everyone!
The Brite MKIII is a truly portable fNIRS system, designed to be attached directly to the headcap. This enables participants to completely move freely without being tethered to additional equipment. Its lightweight wireless design and offline data storage make it ideal for studies in any environment—labs, clinics, or even outdoors.
The multi-power gain control adapts seamlessly to different skin tones, hair types, and cortical distances. Proven to be the most effective system to measure over hair, its innovative optode design ensures optimal contact with the scalp, even in challenging conditions.
Highly flexible
Flexibility defines the Brite. Its adjustable inter-optode distances (10–55 mm) and customizable optode templates (up to 27 channels) allow researchers to tailor measurements to any cortical area. Choose the perfect template from the options in OxySoft or create unique configurations effortlessly with the Optode Template Editor.
The Brite is also designed for user-friendliness and quick setup. Optodes are equipped with number identification and color-coding, making it easy to follow the template overview both in real life and within OxySoft. Whether covering a large cortical area or targeting smaller regions, the Brite MKIII adapts to fit your research needs. Need more coverage? Combine multiple Brite devices in a MultiBrite setup for wearable full-head coverage or optimized hyperscanning configurations. The possibilities are endless!
Optimized for any settings
Delivered with OxySoft 4, the Brite MKIII features advanced tools like Signal Quality Index algorithms and ambient light correction, making it reliable in any environment—from controlled labs to dynamic outdoor settings. It also integrates seamlessly with multimodal systems like EEG, tES, and eye-tracking, allowing researchers to explore complex experimental setups. Explore our case studies for real-world applications!
Accurate
With reduced motion artifacts and improved dynamic range, the Brite MKIII ensures precise data collection. Its flexible inter-optode distance supports short-separation channels (SSC), crucial for extracting extracerebral signals. Plus, its on-head IMU sensor ensures unmatched motion data accuracy, making it a leader in portable fNIRS systems.

BRITE APPLICATIONSThe Brite can be used to measure oxygenation anywhere in the brain. Subjects are even able to perform physical activities, like walking and cycling, not to mention that it weighs only 300 grams in total! This wearability makes monitoring the brain oxygenation of elderly, children, and vulnerable patients comfortable and easy.
Redefine your research capabilities with the Brite—a system designed for precision, flexibility, and ease of use, wherever your studies take you.
Brite MKIII specifications
fNIRS made easy
The NIRS techniqueOptical oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in particular is a tool for non-invasively assessing the oxygenation status and hemodynamics of various organs, e.g., muscle and brain. They rely on mainly two characteristics of human tissue. Firstly, the relative transparency of tissue for light in the NIR range, and secondly the oxygenation-dependent light absorbance of hemoglobin.
Real-time recording and processing of your (f)NIRS data
SOFTWARE solutionsWith the Brite, we provide two different software solutions by default, which both were developed by Artinis. OxySoft is our dedicated software application used to collect, store, view, and analyze all necessary data. This user-friendly software is highly customizable to individual requirements and allows for display of your data in 3D in real-time. Brite Connect is our data acquisition software which aims on easy and quick recordings of your (f)NIRS data. It comes with a modern and sleek outlay, and enables easy measuring, viewing and exporting of data.
MultiBrite configuration
Total flexibility with the Brite
With multiple Brite MKIII systems, you have the flexibility to expand your measurement coverage by combining two or four devices seamlessly in our software. This configuration enables wearable and comprehensive monitoring of brain activity, with OxySoft synchronizing all devices into a single data stream for precise and coordinated measurements.
Whether you choose to use the Brite devices in a MultiBrite configuration, independently, or for hyperscanning (monitoring multiple subjects simultaneously), the Brite series exemplifies flexibility and adaptability for your research needs.
Expand the measurement area
Our range of optode templates eases your MultiBrite configuration:
DualBrite
With two Brite devices, you can achieve up to 54 channels simultaneously allowing multi-regional brain measurements.
TetraBrite
The four-Brite devices’ configuration significantly expands the measurement area with 100+ channels. This configuration includes extended cables and a custom-designed body mount, ensuring participant comfort and enabling a fully wireless, mobile setup for seamless data collection.
Supporting features
SHORT SEPARATION CHANNELSThe Multipower gain control of the Brite allows to easily switch a channel from a standard distance (i.e. 30 mm) to a shorter one (i.e. 10 mm). Interested in having more short separation channels (SSC) without sacrificing many standard channels? Then upgrade to the Short separation channel splitter, which enables you to have up to 8 additional SSC’s!
EEG & TES COMPATIBILITYYou can combine electroencephalography (EEG) and/or transcranial electrical stimulation (tES: tDCS, tACS, tRNS) with NIRS in one single headcap. Such a combination allows clinicians and researchers to measure both cortical electrophysiological (EEG) and hemodynamic activity (fNIRS) before, during, and after transcranial electrical stimulation in real-world settings.
Key Add-OnsEnhance your Brite system with key accessories: The Polhemus Viper, paired with OxySoft's 3D extension, ensures precise digitization of optode positions directly within the software. The Battery Extension Pack adds 4 hours of extra runtime for uninterrupted measurements. The Versatile Bio amplifier enables real-time analog (e.g., GSR, RESP, TEMP) and electrical (e.g., ExG, EMG) biosignals monitoring.

“I am a big fan of Artinis!
After many bad experiences with customer services from different companies during my career, I highly value companies that do not just care about selling you stuff, but also provide high-quality after-sale support. Artinis provides by far the best after-sale support I have ever experienced!
So, thank you for all the hard work!”
