Functional Near-Infrared Optical Imaging (fNIR) provides insights on cognitive brain function and is appealing to researchers studying attention, memory, planning, and problem-solving in natural settings, in the lab, or in the field. This technology—which is much more affordable than fMRI—is used in hemodynamic response & neural activity, optical brain imaging, cognition (e.g., working memory, decision-making processes, mental fatigue), neuroergonomics, neuromarketing, and muscle oxygenation studies.

Join BIOPAC for this webinar to learn more about the newest fNIR technology and how cognitive researchers are using it for scientific discovery. Alex Dimov of BIOPAC and Davood Tashayyod of fNIR Devices present the strengths and capabilities of using fNIR technology in research.

What you will learn:

• Applications of fNIR technology
• Proper setup of equipment for optimal data collections in each application area
• Prefrontal cortex imaging
• fNIR and muscle oxygenation
• And more!

Plus, see a LIVE DEMO of the latest fNIR equipment including the new Mobile fNIR System.
