BabyBrite
Exploring a Brite mind: flexibly, comfortably, reliably.
Measures oxy-, deoxy- and total hemoglobin concentration changes from any cortical brain area
Highly comfortable due to soft optodes and optode holders
Made from biocompatible materials
High data quality based on the improved Brite
Optimized flexibility to test in common infant research settings
Fast setup time
Hyperscanning is possible across all ages
Portable & wearable
The BabyBrite system is designed to provide high-comfort to young infants. We aimed to achieve this by using flat optode tips and soft optode holders, which are crafted from biocompatible materials, for extra safe and gentle skin contact on babies.
The soft-click principle allows an easy & fast setup. Additionally, this principle allows to easily move hair aside when infants have lots of hair.
The BabyBrite is an optimized version of the new Brite MKII for infant research, making use of similar improved technology. This device allows researchers the flexibility to conduct studies in many research settings. The flexible template feature enables researchers to measure brain activity from any location on the infant head. The BabyBrite package comes with distance guards that ensure stable inter-optode distance and mounting solutions for lab and real-life interactions (e.g. car seat; parent lap, high chair, crawling around).
The BabyBrite only weighs 300 grams, which makes it ideal for babies that are freely moving or asleep. You can set up your research wherever you want whenever you want!
Built with the same innovative features as the Brite (high data quality, multi-power gain control, and ambient light protection), the BabyBrite is the perfect portable NIRS device to measure the brain activity of babies and infants between 0 to 2 years old.
Hyperscanning (e.g. parent-child interaction) can be easily done in combination with the Brite. By combining two BabyBrite devices, it is possible to form a Dual BabyBrite and measure over 54 channels on older infants.
Designed to provide extra comfort to young babies
BabyBrite specifications
The BabyBrite can be used to measure changes in oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin concentration levels in the brain. As it only weighs 300 grams (!) and is a portable NIRS device, infants are able to freely move and crawl around while wearing the device. The BabyBrite is the ideal device for all infant research, such as infant cognitive development, linguistic development, parent-child interaction/synchrony, and infant peer-to-peer interaction.
Applications
Easy maintenance for researchers
fNIRS made easy
The NIRS technique
Optical 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 on the oxygenation-dependent light absorbance of hemoglobin.
