NIRScout
Ultra-compact neuroimaging system by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRs).
NIRScout
is a compact solution for fNIRS neuroimaging, which is a versatile, scalable system that allows measurements of haemodynamic neuroactivation by recording changes in oxy- and deoxy hemoglobin concentrations in the cortex in real time. System configuration range - from 8 sources and 4 detectors to 128 sources and 64 detectors. The NIRScout interface with a wide selection of available caps and optical probes can be used in standard studies, neonatal/neonatal imaging, and multimodal EEG, MRI, TMS and oculography acquisition. NIRx offers both standardized sensor settings and user-configurable settings.
The system includes several digital input/output options for precise triggering of event markers. The real-time data stream option is available for the BCI/neurofeedback application. NIRScout uses an open data format, compatible with many analytical programs, based on open-source software, as well as with its own NIRx software - nirsLAB and NAVI.
