Together with NIRx we are organizing a free 1-day hands-on workshop to introduce fNIRS technology (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) at Uppsala University Hospital for researchers and clinicians who may be interested in its potential use in their work.
The workshop will include set-up, data acquisition, and basic analysis techniques.
There are a limited number of spots so please register following this link by Jan 15: Eventbrite
fNIRS (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that uses near-infrared light to measure changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the cortex, providing insights into brain activity with excellent spatial and temporal resolution. Because it is portable, safe, and tolerant of movement, fNIRS is widely used to study cognition and behavior in naturalistic settings, developmental populations, and interactive tasks where other imaging methods are less practical.
NIRx Medical Technologies, founded about 25 years ago, is a company based in Berlin but with a network of global distributors that extend all over the world. They specialize in providing high-end fNIRS systems and comprehensive technology solutions to researchers for the most demanding investigative applications.
