CONTINUOUS WAVE FNIR SPECTROSCOPY: AFFORDABLE COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT
fNIR wearable near-infrared spectroscopy based systems enable the continuous, noninvasive, and safe monitoring of changes in blood oxygenation and blood volume related to human brain function. fNIR systems provide real-time monitoring of tissue oxygenation in the brain as subjects take tests, perform cognitive tasks, and/or receive stimulation. Wireless and wired solutions are available for adult and pediatric subjects.
Updated Digital Communication Cables (Sensor Head)
Higher Frame Rates—up to 10 Hz
Lower noise—almost twice as efficient LEDs
Two-way Synchronization
Near Sensors—reduced systemic artifacts
Compact & Compatible—use new sensors with Imager 2000 or 1200 Series
fNIRSoft Pro included in most configurations (upgrade available for others)
No Isolation Transformer Required
fNIR Systems readily integrate with B-Alert X-Series EEG for acquisition of multi-channel EEG and monitoring and determination of cognitive states. The fNIR System can also be readily integrated with other physiological and neurobehavioral measures that assess human brain activity, including eye tracking, pupil reflex, respiration and electrodermal activity. fNIR Systems allow researchers to quantitatively assess brain functions, including but not limited to attention, working memory, planning, decision making, problem solving, etc. while individuals perform cognitive tasks.
Subjects wear an fNIRS sensor (IR light sources and detectors mounted in a flexible band) on the forehead that detects oxygen levels in the prefrontal cortex and provides real-time values for oxy-hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin.
