The NIRS technique
Optical oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in particular is a tool for non-invasively assessing the oxygenation status and hemodynamics of various organs, e.g., muscle and brain. They rely on mainly two characteristics of human tissue. Firstly, the relative transparency of tissue for light in the NIR range, and secondly the oxygenation-dependent light absorbance of hemoglobin.
At Artinis, we strive to make optical imaging easy – for everyone and everywhere. For more than two decades, we have been providing user-friendly, high-tech solutions for (f)NIRS measurements and radiological quality management.
High comfort, easy to use
Our latest customer survey revealed that 80% of our users take less than 10 min to set up their (f)NIRS device. Further, our optodes are designed for maximum comfort without applying pressure to the subject.
Truly portable — Measurements in any settings
Our devices are truly portable and wireless, weighing less than 300 g —all included. This enables you to measure in any setting, even during movement.
Reliable data quality
With our devices, we show that easy usability does not restrict the highest data quality. We implement various technologies in our devices and software to ensure reliable data quality for all measurement locations and participants.
Have a complete picture of brain activity with a fully integrated, wearable, or stationary, fNIRS-EEG package.
It is possible to combine NIRS, EEG, and tES (tDCS, tACS, tRNS) in one single headcap.
The complex architecture of the human brain develops in an ongoing process that starts in the womb and continues into adulthood. In the first few years of human life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second. The processes that underlie the developing brain have long been a neuroscientific area of interest.
The fNIRS mini devices developed by Artinis are lightweight, user-friendly, and comfortable, making them perfectly suited for studies on sensitive subjects, such as babies.
