Results for tag: "Functional Near Infrared Optical Brain Imaging"

Functional Near Infrared Optical Brain Imaging (fNIR) is a type of medical imaging technology used to measure brain activity. It is a non-invasive, portable, and cost-effective method of measuring changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations in the brain. This technology is used to study brain function in a variety of clinical and research settings, including neurology, psychiatry, and cognitive neuroscience. It is also used to assess the effects of drugs, medical treatments, and brain injuries. fNIR imaging is based on the principle of near-infrared spectroscopy, which uses light in the near-infrared range to measure changes in the concentration of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the brain. This technology is used to measure changes in brain activity in response to stimuli, such as cognitive tasks, emotions, and physical activities. Some companies in the fNIR market include Artinis Medical Systems, NIRx Medical Technologies, NIRQuest, and NIRx Medical Technologies. Show Less Read more
