HOMER3 and AtlasViewer

Key Researchers: Jay Dubb, BU; David Boas, BU; Ted Huppert, Pitt (HOMER2); Meryem Ayşe Yücel, BU

Summary: Homer3 is a Matlab application used for analyzing fNIRS data to obtain estimates and maps of brain activation. It is a continuation of the work on the well established HOMER2 software which itself evolved since the early 1990s, first as the Photon Migration Imaging toolbox, then HOMER (circa 2002), and then HOMER2 (circa 2009). While it’s purpose, functionality and graphical user interface (GUI) are similar to those applications it adds several important advancements and features. AtlasViewer is toolbox that is used to facilitate the anatomical interpretation of fNIRS data that has been processed with HOMER.
