A highly engaging workshop on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and its integration with physiological measurements was successfully held recently at the Gran Canaria Cognitive Research Center. The session was expertly led by Dr. Adam Takacs, a scientific consultant from NIRx (Berlin, Germany), a leading provider of neuroimaging technology.

The workshop provided attendees with a comprehensive introduction to the principles of brain imaging using fNIRS. Dr. Takacs clearly outlined the fundamentals of the technique and highlighted its diverse applications within the fields of cognitive and social neuroscience. Participants gained valuable insights into how fNIRS can be utilized for non-invasively investigating brain activity in various research settings.

The workshop attracted a diverse group of researchers, students, and professionals who share an interest in non-invasive neuroimaging techniques. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Dr. Takacs’ clear explanations and the valuable hands-on experience provided. The event successfully fostered a greater understanding of fNIRS and its potential for advancing research in cognitive and social neuroscience.
