Customizable and versatile, the Brite MKIII features adjustable interoptode distances (10 to 55 mm), supporting both shallow and deep measurements. Researchers can configure up to 27 channels using the flexible optode template in OxySoft, tailoring setups to suit any cortical area or study design.

Experience unparalleled comfort, precision, and adaptability with the Brite MKIII, your ultimate fNIRS solution.

The Brite is WHOA

Wearable…anywhere & for everyone!

The Brite MKIII is a truly portable fNIRS system, designed to be attached directly to the headcap. This enables participants to completely move freely without being tethered to additional equipment. Its lightweight wireless design and offline data storage make it ideal for studies in any environment—labs, clinics, or even outdoors.

The multi-power gain control adapts seamlessly to different skin tones, hair types, and cortical distances. Proven to be the most effective system to measure over hair, its innovative optode design ensures optimal contact with the scalp, even in challenging conditions.

Highly flexible

Flexibility defines the Brite. Its adjustable inter-optode distances (10–55 mm) and customizable optode templates (up to 27 channels) allow researchers to tailor measurements to any cortical area. Choose the perfect template from the options in OxySoft or create unique configurations effortlessly with the Optode Template Editor.

The Brite is also designed for user-friendliness and quick setup. Optodes are equipped with number identification and color-coding, making it easy to follow the template overview both in real life and within OxySoft. Whether covering a large cortical area or targeting smaller regions, the Brite MKIII adapts to fit your research needs. Need more coverage? Combine multiple Brite devices in a MultiBrite setup for wearable full-head coverage or optimized hyperscanning configurations. The possibilities are endless!

Optimized for any settings

Delivered with OxySoft 4, the Brite MKIII features advanced tools like Signal Quality Index algorithms and ambient light correction, making it reliable in any environment—from controlled labs to dynamic outdoor settings. It also integrates seamlessly with multimodal systems like EEG, tES, and eye-tracking, allowing researchers to explore complex experimental setups. Explore our case studies for real-world applications!

Accurate

With reduced motion artifacts and improved dynamic range, the Brite MKIII ensures precise data collection. Its flexible inter-optode distance supports short-separation channels (SSC), crucial for extracting extracerebral signals. Plus, its on-head IMU sensor ensures unmatched motion data accuracy, making it a leader in portable fNIRS systems.

BRITE APPLICATIONS

The Brite can be used to measure oxygenation anywhere in the brain. Subjects are even able to perform physical activities, like walking and cycling, not to mention that it weighs only 300 grams in total! This wearability makes monitoring the brain oxygenation of elderly, children, and vulnerable patients comfortable and easy.

Redefine your research capabilities with the Brite—a system designed for precision, flexibility, and ease of use, wherever your studies take you.

Brite MKIII specifications

fNIRS made easy

The NIRS technique

Optical oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in particular is a tool for non-invasively assessing the oxygenation status and hemodynamics of various organs, e.g., muscle and brain. They rely on mainly two characteristics of human tissue. Firstly, the relative transparency of tissue for light in the NIR range, and secondly the oxygenation-dependent light absorbance of hemoglobin.

Real-time recording and processing of your (f)NIRS data

SOFTWARE solutions

With the Brite, we provide two different software solutions by default, which both were developed by Artinis. OxySoft is our dedicated software application used to collect, store, view, and analyze all necessary data. This user-friendly software is highly customizable to individual requirements and allows for display of your data in 3D in real-time. Brite Connect is our data acquisition software which aims on easy and quick recordings of your (f)NIRS data. It comes with a modern and sleek outlay, and enables easy measuring, viewing and exporting of data.

MultiBrite configuration

Maximum flexibility with the Brite

With the MultiBrite configuration, you can seamlessly expand your measurements while keeping the setup fully portable. Our software solutions synchronize all devices into a single, unified data stream —ensuring precise, coordinated measurements and making the entire process easy

Supporting features

Optodes & Holders Variety

We offer a range of supporting accessories, including Spring Optode Holders and Short Separation Channel (SSC) Splitter, to fit your study's precision and flexibility. The Spring Optode Holders are designed for optimal scalp contact and high data quality, particularly when measuring over hairy areas such as the temporal, parietal, or motor cortex. These holders are compatible with both Brite and Brite Lite and are delivered color-coded to simplify setup and organization. The SSC Splitter enables users to add up to 8 extra SSCs without significantly reducing the number of standard channels.

EEG & TES COMPATIBILITY

You can combine electroencephalography (EEG) and/or transcranial electrical stimulation (tES: tDCS, tACS, tRNS) with NIRS in one single headcap. Such a combination allows clinicians and researchers to measure both cortical electrophysiological (EEG) and hemodynamic activity (fNIRS) before, during, and after transcranial electrical stimulation in real-world settings.

Key Add-Ons

Enhance your Brite system with key accessories: The Polhemus Viper, paired with OxySoft's 3D extension, ensures precise digitization of optode positions directly within the software. The EverGo adds 4 hours of extra runtime for uninterrupted measurements. The Versatile Bio amplifier enables real-time analog (e.g., GSR, RESP, TEMP) and electrical (e.g., ExG, EMG) biosignals monitoring.

“I am a big fan of Artinis!

After many bad experiences with customer services from different companies during my career, I highly value companies that do not just care about selling you stuff, but also provide high-quality after-sale support. Artinis provides by far the best after-sale support I have ever experienced!

So, thank you for all the hard work!”
