fNIRS + EEG

A perfect match for neuroscience

Integrating functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) with electroencephalography (EEG) researchers leverage the strenghts of both techniques while minimizing their individual limitations. This multimodal approach delivers a more precise and comprehensive understanding of brain activity than relying on either method in isolation.

Cortivision has joined forces with two leading manufacturers of high-quality EEG systems to ensure you choose the solution best suited to your research.

Cortivision PHOTON is a wireless near infrared spectroscope (NIRS) for the functional measurement of the hemodynamic response of the brain. Our devices enable non-invasive monitoring of the activity of selected areas of the cerebral cortex, thanks to a set of high-quality emitters and detectors.

Cortivision PHOTON is the first fully integrated environment to combine NIRS technology with Virtual Reality (VR) for scientific research and training applications. The use of virtual reality allows for unprecedented control of the content that we provide to the test subject. Therefore, PHOTON is an excellent tool for scientists and professionals in the field of UX / UI and ergonomics.

The system provides easy integration with any stimulus presentation software, as well as convenient signal export to the most popular recording formats (including .nirs). The built-in IMU (inertial measurement unit) module allows you to easily read the movement parameters during the test based on the indications of the accelerometer and gyroscope.

An advanced near infrared spectroscope with a configurable system of 16 emitters and 10 detectors to monitor the activity of selected areas of the brain.
