The Brite is WHOA
Wearable…anywhere & for everyone!
The Brite MKIV is a state-of-the-art, wearable, and flexible multi-channel fNIRS device designed for advanced brain oxygenation research. Weighing just 300 grams, this ultra-light system can be easily attached to the Artinis fNIRS headcap, offering unmatched portability and comfort for diverse participants, including children and elderly individuals. Combined with offline data storage, the Brite is ideal for studies in any environment—labs, clinics, or even outdoors.
Equipped with advanced multi-wavelength light transmitters, the Brite MKIV provides continuous, real-time data seamlessly integrated into our user-friendly analysis software. Its innovative multi-power gain control includes four power levels and auto-power settings, ensuring optimal data quality across various skin tones, hair types, ages, and cortical distances. Including sensors with high sensitivity, setup is now easier and quicker, especially when measuring over hair.
Highly flexible
Customizable and versatile, the Brite MKIV 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 or Brite Connect. You can even create unique configurations effortlessly with the Optode Template Editor, tailoring setups to suit any cortical area or study design.
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 your software of choice. Whether covering a large cortical area or targeting smaller regions, the Brite MKIV 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 and Brite Connect, the Brite MKIV 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 MKIV 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.

MediBrite
Europe’s first medical NIRS device
Are you looking for a NIRS device with CE mark according to MDR (EU) 2017/745? Our MediBrite comes with similar features as the Brite for completely portable measurements with high signal quality in mind, but is optimized to meet regulatory requirements in medical use.
MultiBrite configurations
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.
Brite family
Flexible options for everyone
The Brite family offers multiple options, providing greater flexibility and accuracy to fit your research purpose. From Brite Lite to Brite Ultra, there are lots of variations and combinations that will fit your requirements perfectly.
Some devices even offer an upgrade path, should your needs change over time.
Supporting features
SOFTWARE solutionsWith 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 emphasizes quick and easy recordings of your (f)NIRS data. It comes with a modern and sleek outlay, and enables easy measuring, viewing and exporting of data.
Optodes & Holders VarietyWe 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 COMPATIBILITYYou 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-OnsEnhance 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!”
The NIRS techniqueOptical 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.
