We are pleased to announce that we have four new webinars scheduled! Three of the four will explore the new features with the recent release of Aurora 1.4 , for use with the NIRSport2 fNIRS Imager. The fourth will discuss considerations for imaging infants with fNIRS, led by two of our own experts in the topic, Dr. Jessica Gemignani and Dr. Afrouz Anderson. Note that registration is only open to NIRx customers. See below for more details, exact dates and registration links!
Upcoming Webinars
Overview of Aurora 1.4 - December 12th, 2019

fNIRS Studies with Infants & Toddlers - January 13th, 2020
NIRx’s own Dr. Afrouz Anderson and Dr. Jessica Gemignani share a wealth of experience on infant & child fNIRS imaging studies, from data collection to experimental design and analysis. Both have conducted fNIRS studies with these special populations at prestigious institutions, such as the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development and the Yale-Haskins Laboratories. They will discuss the impact of short distance channels in different ages, point out some montages and brain atlases that are frequently used for infants, among other considerations. They will focus on the neonatal to 4 year old age range.
