🧠 Curious how brain-computer interfaces actually work in real time?
NIRS is playing a surprisingly powerful role, especially when portability, movement, or cost are limiting factors for EEG and fMRI.
In our updated blogpost, we explore:
🟡 Why NIRS is a strong fit for BCI
🔵 What kind of tasks it supports
🟡 How researchers are combining it with other tech like EEG

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you to everyone who shared their work with us throughout the year. It has been inspiring to see how (f)NIRS continues to support research across brain, muscle, and clinical science. We are grateful for the conversations, collaborations, and the trust you place in us. We wish you a great end of the year and a bright start to the next one! ✨
Warm wishes,
The Artinis team 🧠🟡
In this study, de Bracque et al. used our PortaLite device to measure cerebral oxygenation in baboons, showing how adaptable the technique is across species and environments.
🟡 A non-invasive approach that keeps animal welfare central
🔵 Reliable monitoring of cerebral activity during naturalistic behavior
🟡 New opportunities to understand primate cognition and comparative neuroscience

Our (f)NIRS devices are designed to integrate seamlessly with other modalities, such as high-density EMG (HD-EMG). By synchronizing NIRS and HD-EMG, researchers can gain deeper insight into the interaction between muscle activation and oxygenation, helping bridge the gap between central and peripheral measurements.

From head movements to facial expressions, motion is part of real-life research. But what actually counts as motion artefact in fNIRS studies, and how can it impact your data?
This blog explores:
🟡 Why not all movement is bad news
🔵 Which artefacts matter most
🟡 What you can do to minimize their impact
