The power of portability — Using fNIRS in Naturalistic Settings
Performing research in real-world environments has been gaining importance in neuroscience. Due to its portability, ease of use, and robustness to motion, fNIRS can be perfectly used in naturalistic settings outside the lab. In this blog, we explain the various applications of fNIRS in the real world, highlight study examples, and provide an overview of the fNIRS solutions we offer to enable research in any setting and with any participant.
Combining Virtual Reality and wearable fNIRS
The application of Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming increasingly important in clinical and psychological research, for instance in exposure therapy or neurorehabilitation. fNIRS can be used to monitor brain activity during application of VR. We tested simultaneous use of VR and fNIRS with our new device, the Brite Frontal. Read in this blogpost, how this went and which advantages using fNIRS during VR application can demonstrate.
