#fnirs — Public Fediverse posts

Using #fNIRS #hyperscanning, Li et al. (2025) show that when individuals from different backgrounds engage in real-world problem solving, inter-brain synchronization (IBS) increases in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region linked to executive function.
Their findings offer a valuable lens on cross-functional teams, innovation processes, and how we design collaborative environments.

🧠 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

Can we measure learning in real classrooms?
Feng et al. (2025) used the Brite to monitor brain activity during live teaching sessions inside the classroom. Their study shows how #fNIRS can capture authentic neural responses in everyday educational settings. By taking neuroimaging beyond the lab, this study highlights the growing potential of wearable fNIRS to reveal how students engage and learn in real time.

How does carrying heavy loads in low-oxygen environments affect both brain and muscle? In their recent study, Baur et al. simultaneously measured brain and muscle oxygenation with the OctaMon and PortaMon to investigate the physiological response to thoracic load carriage in hypoxia.

By combining cerebral and muscular #NIRS data, the authors revealed how oxygenation patterns adapt under these demanding conditions.
