LatAmNIRS Virtual Meeting 2021
Um encontro virtual de sucesso para a comunidade de NIRS da América Latina / A successful virtual event for the Latin American NIRS community!
A LatAmNIRS foi muito boa! A reunião aconteceu durante um único dia recheado de apresentações de pesquisadores do mundo todo em português e espanhol.
O dia foi dividido em quatro seções, cobrindo Instrumentação, Aplicações em neurociência, Análise de dados e aplicações clinicas. A palestra de abertura, ministrada pela Prof. Debora Marques de Miranda (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brasil), abordou insights a respeito de bebes em desenvolvimento. Já a palestra de encerramento, ministrada pelo Prof. Luca Pollonini (University of Houston, USA/EE.UU), abordou sobre orientações para que uma pesquisa em fNIRS seja bem sucedida.
Além disso, a reunião contou com um workshop oferecido pela BrainSupport, que trouxe palestras sobre desenhos experimentais, sobre as mais atuais toolboxes para análise de dados de fNIRS, e com uma demonstração ao vivo de uma medida de NIRS com o sistema NIRSport2 da NIRx em conjunto a medidas de fisiologia extracerebral usando o mais novo produto da empresa, o NIRxWINGS.
The LatAmNIRS 2021 virtual meeting was a blast! It featured a single day packed with talks in Spanish and Portuguese from speakers from all over the globe.
The day was split into four main sessions covering Instrumentation, Neuroscience Applications, Data analysis, and Clinical Applications. The opening talk was given by Prof. Debora Marques de Miranda (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil), who shared her research insights on developing babies using NIRS, while the closing talk was conducted by Prof. Luca Pollonini (University of Houston, USA/EE.UU), who presented guidelines for successful fNIRS investigations.
In addition to that, the meeting also held a workshop offered by BrainSupport. This featured lectures on experimental design, the latest fNIRS analysis toolboxes, and a hands-on live demonstration of a NIRS measurement using a NIRx NIRSport2 system. We also demonstrated how physiological measurements can be concurrently measured with our, the NIRxWINGS.
See you next year!
Upcoming event – Hands on next generation fNIRS. 8th of June, Rome
Reserve your spot now - limited availability
We would hereby like to warmly invite you to the Rethink Functional Imaging – Hands on next generation fNIRS event, organized by NIRx Medical Technologies and Brain Innovation. This one-day workshop introduces a new platform for wearable, whole-head functional near-infrared spectroscopy, from signal acquisition to data analysis. The event takes place on June 8; just before the official OHBM annual meeting starts. Claim your spot for this event on http://rethinkfnirs.eventbrite.com, or read more information below!
A little over 30 years ago, NIRx introduced the concept of multi-distance spectroscopy measurements – tomographic brain imaging using near-infrared light. Together with Brain Innovation, pioneer of advanced analysis and mapping of structural and functional brain data. Now, we are presenting an all-new way of studying brain activity, integrating the entire research workflow.
Join us for an interactive demonstration of the NIRSport 2, the wearable whole-head imaging platform. Try its powerful multi-device mode, and run whole-head measurements in almost any environment imaginable. Visualize hemodynamic changes with Aurora, the latest fNIRS acquisition software, and experience its potential for multi-modal research.
This event marks the premiere of our latest collaborative effort: an all-new analysis software. Get inspired, and be part of the newest developments in mobile neuroimaging. Meet the community and learn about ongoing efforts. Rethink your study, and rethink fNIRS.
The event is scheduled from 10am to 3pm, June 8, with admission free of charge. Final schedule, program and venue to be announced. Places are limited, so register now!
We very much look forward to welcoming you in Rome.
