4th Annual Meeting of the Society for fNIRS Norge

Date: October 30, 2026

Location: University of Bergen, Room 4.41, Christies gate 18, 5007 Bergen, Norway

After the great success of the previous events, get ready for the 4th Annual Meeting of the Society for fNIRS Norge, a one-day event focused on showcasing innovative applications of fNIRS within the Norwegian research community.
This will also mark the occasion for launching a broader Northern European fNIRS community initiative planned for next year.

Beyond presenting your most recent results, you're encouraged to share insights, challenges and opportunities to stimulate feedback, discussion and networking.

The workshop will also be available for online participation.

Join us at the University of Bergen for a full day of innovation and collaboration!

fNIRS in Motion: Harnessing Physiology for Better Brain Signals

Date: November 10, 2026

Location: Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences

Hands-on fNIRS workshop covering physiological noise, signal processing, and best practices for physical activity research.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly central to research on physical activity and brain health — but collecting clean, interpretable data in dynamic, real-world settings comes with unique challenges. Physiological noise from heart rate, respiration, and movement can obscure the very signals we are trying to measure.

This interactive pre-conference workshop, held ahead of the Nordic Conference on Physical Activity and Brain Health (Stockholm, November 11–12, 2026), is designed for researchers and students who want to move beyond data collection and gain confidence in physiological signal processing for fNIRS.

Through live demonstrations and interactive exercises, participants will explore how systemic physiological signals — including cardiac and respiratory activity — are embedded in fNIRS data, and learn practical strategies to identify, separate, and remove them.

The workshop draws on the combined expertise of fNIRS manufacturers, Artinis and NIRx, covering both hardware considerations and software-based processing pipelines.

What to expect:

• An introduction to fNIRS physiology and the sources of physiological noise

• Demos with fNIRS and devices for physiological recordings from Artinis - NIRx.

• Interactive sessions on physiological data processing and signal cleaning techniques with various software (e.g. Satori, Matlab)

• Interactive discussion on best practices for active and dynamic measurement contexts

• Social event following the workshop, sponsored by Artinis - NIRx!

Whether you are new to fNIRS or looking to sharpen your analytical workflow, this workshop offers practical tools and expert guidance directly relevant to brain health research involving physical activity.
