🟡🔗 https://bio.site/artinis The pioneer of wearable near infrared spectroscopy #nirs #fnirs devices to monitor local oxygenation non-invasively, in both brain🧠 & muscle💪 tissue.
Can VR make exercise more engaging without changing its cognitive benefits? In a pilot study, Kelsey et al. compared traditional cycling with VR-based cycling in adults with overweight/obesity, a group at elevated risk of cognitive decline.
What a great few days at the International Society for Exercise Neuroscience #ISENS Conference & Workshop! A big thank you to all the bright-minded participants for the inspiring discussions and shared enthusiasm for advancing exercise neuroscience and wearable neuroimaging.
📣 Join us this autumn as we connect with the #fNIRS community across Europe! See all upcoming events worldwide at www.artinis-nirx.com/events #Neuroscience #BrainResearch #Neuroimaging #Workshops 🇸🇪 Neuroimaging Methods Symposium (NEMES) 📍Gothenburg, Sweden | 21–23 September
How well can virtual reality capture brain activity during real-world behaviors? A recent study by Dina et al. combined a CAVE virtual reality environment with mobile #fNIRS to measure response inhibition in children aged 3 to 7.
Virtual Reality is transforming the way we study the brain by bringing real-world scenarios into controlled research environments. But to fully benefit from these immersive settings, researchers also need brain imaging technology that can move with the participant.
In sports science, understanding performance means looking beyond a single physiological signal. Combining NIRS with techniques such as ECG and EMG can provide a more complete picture of how the body responds to exercise, fatigue, and recovery.
What happens when muscle oxygenation meets muscle activation? Combining muscle NIRS with HD-EMG allows researchers to simultaneously investigate muscular metabolism and neural activation during exercise, movement, and rehabilitation.
🧠⚡ At booth #39-40, Artinis & @NIRx Medical Technologies are showing #fNIRS + #EEG multimodality: hemodynamic & electrophysiological signals combined in a wearable, portable setup ready for lab and real-world use. #OHBM2026 #BrainScience
Combining transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), EEG, and fNIRS in a single setup opens exciting possibilities for studying the brain in action. In this blogpost, we explore the Starstim-fNIRS solution developed through the collaboration between Neuroelectrics and Artinis.
30 brains. One experiment. Meet Brite Ultra — the world's only mass fNIRS hyperscanning system by Artinis & @NIRx Medical Technologies — live at booth #39-40 today. Lightweight, wireless, and built to synchronize up to 30 participants at once. #OHBM2026 #fNIRS #Hyperscanning
At booth #39-40 today, Artinis & @NIRx Medical Technologies are demoing #fNIRS + #TMS, a powerful combination for brain stimulation research that gives you both the trigger and the response. Come, join us at 1 PM! www.artinis-nirx.com/ohbm-2026-bo...
What happens when you combine two complementary brain monitoring techniques in a single setup?
Big news 🧠 Artinis + NIRx are now one team. Two #fNIRS pioneers, 20+ years each, one mission: helping more researchers run more experiments and publish more findings. The broadest fNIRS portfolio, one product-led roadmap, the same people you trust. fNIRS is just getting started.
👉 Join us on 16 July in London for a pre-conference #fNIRS workshop run by @artinis.bsky.social and NIRx Medical Technologies! Spots are limited, be sure to register on time! 🎫https://www.eventbrite.de/e/uk-fnirs-introduction-course-workshop-tickets-1990081876464
Combining fNIRS and EEG offers researchers a powerful way to study brain function by capturing both hemodynamic and electrophysiological activity simultaneously.
Rehabilitation is becoming smarter and more data-driven. In their recent study, Wang et al. (2025) explored how parallel cognitive-motor tasks during robot-assisted rehabilitation affect cortical hemodynamic responses.
Can psychotherapy change the way two brains interact? 🧠🧠 In a recent proof-of-concept study, Haran Sened and colleagues explored inter-brain plasticity during psychotherapy for test anxiety.
A promising role for fNIRS in poststroke rehabilitation 🧠 In a recent systematic review, Gong et al.
What happens inside the brain when a student learns under pressure? And how does a teacher’s presence shape that process? In their recent study, Li et al. (2025) use fNIRS-based hyperscanning to explore how teacher–student interaction affects language learning under anxiety.
Interdisciplinary collaboration isn’t just a buzzword, it is measurable. Using fNIRS hyperscanning, Li et al.
Scaling hyperscanning, without scaling complexity 🧠🧠✨ With Brite Ultra system, large-scale #fNIRS #hyperscanning becomes intuitive and structured even with up to 30 participants in a single setup.
Curious to learn how to study real interactions in large groups but missed our Hyperscanning Summer School? Good news: our Brite Ultra hyperscanning demo is now available on YouTube! In this session, David Zijderveld walks us through:
Understanding how young children connect and collaborate with others is key to unlocking early development. In their recent article, St. Clair et al.
We are very pleased to share that ESA French astronaut Sophie Adenot has successfully carried out PhysioTool, one of the scientific experiments of CNES, the French space agency, aboard the International Space Station.
Last week we enjoyed an excellent #fNIRS workshop by @nirx-nirs.bsky.social and @artinis.bsky.social. Our lab now has a comprehensive set of tools for studying the physiology and neuroscience of human interaction. If you are looking for postdoc opportunities in social neuroscience, get in touch! 🧠
