We’re excited to officially launch NIRxWINGS2 – the next evolution in physiological sensing technology for multimodal fNIRS neuroimaging. Designed in response to direct feedback from our global user community, NIRxWINGS2 brings upgrades in signal quality, flexibility, and mobility to your fNIRS studies.
Whether you're investigating cognitive function, stress and attention in dynamic environments, or designing advanced neuroergonomic paradigms, NIRxWINGS2 is your tool for combined physiological and fNIRS measurements.
In this blog post, you will find some of the features and advancements NIRxWINGS2 offers your research!
Like its predecessor, NIRxWINGS2 is designed to extend the NIRSport2 and comes with sensors for respiration, ExG (e.g., EMG, EOG, ECG), temperature, PPG, and electrodermal activity (EDA/GSR). However, the new universal sensor port offers more flexibility for your research.
Full Customization with the NIRx BioLink
The NIRx BioLink universal sensor port introduces a flexible system that adapts to your research now and in the future.
Mix & match sensors: ExG (e.g., EMG, ECG), respiration, temperature, and EDA
Color-coded sensors for fast, mistake-free setup
Auto-recognition via our Aurora software streamlines configuration
Ready for future sensor types—your research is future-proof!
No matter your study design, you’re in control.
Smarter Sensors, Cleaner Data
With NIRxWINGS2, signal fidelity takes a leap forward. The EDA, respiration, and temperature sensors have been refined to deliver cleaner, more reliable outputs in even the most dynamic settings:
EDA: Redesigned circuit for improved signal quality
Respiration: Inductive sensor belt minimizes motion artifacts
Temperature: Thermistor-based sensor provides real-time responsiveness
Shielded cables reduce cross-talk for high-fidelity signals
Built for the Real World
Research doesn’t always stop at the lab door, so why should your tools? Combining the NIRxWINGS2 + NIRSport2 means compact, lightweight, and wireless solution for fully mobile multimodal recordings:
Wireless connectivity & internal storage
Real-time synchronization of physiology + fNIRS via LSL stream
Robust performance in high-movement, multi-sensory environments
Ideal for studies in sports science, mindfulness, VR, learning, and more
Take your setup into classrooms, clinics, workplaces, or the great outdoors.
