Introduction to (Functional) Near Infrared Spectroscopy

(f)NIRS introduction course France

We are excited to host our first French introduction course for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the capital. Join us on Monday, 25th of November 2024 in Paris, France!

Introduction to (functional) Near Infrared Spectroscopy

As the use of functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) continues to expand each year, we are excited to share our expertise to help users unlock the full potential of this powerful technology. To support this, we offer introductory courses that cover both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of fNIRS. These courses are open to everyone, from students and postgraduates to researchers, new users, and professionals looking to deepen their understanding.

We are also pleased to announce that our French distributor, Mtraining, will be joining us to explore how mNIRS can complement fNIRS, with insights into combining these techniques effectively.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned NIRS enthusiast, we look forward to meet you there!
