ninjaNIRS

Key Researchers: Bernhard Zimmermann, BU; Alexander von Lühmann, BU; Antonio Ortega-Martinez, BU; David Boas, BU

Summary: ninjaNIRS is a modular and wearable fNIRS system that will ultimately support up to 128 optodes, each with a dual wavelength source and photo-diode detector. The system shown above has 8 of these combined source and detector optodes. The motivation, concept, components and initial performance characterization of the ninjaNIRS system are described in a poster we presented at SPIE Photonics West in 2019.
