What is NIRS?

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), the technique which Artinis devices e.g., the Brite and PortaLite are based on, relies mainly on two characteristics of human tissue. First, the relative transparency of tissue to light in the NIR range. Second, the oxygenation-dependent light absorbing characteristics of hemoglobin. By using a number of different wavelengths, the relative changes in oxy,- and deoxyhemoglobin concentrations can be displayed continuously. Optical oximetry, and near infrared spectroscopy in particular, is a tool for assessing the oxygenation status and hemodynamics of various organs, e.g. muscle and brain. Using the NIRS principle, it becomes possible to monitor changes in oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin in a non-invasive, affordable way in either the lab or in the field without the need for specially trained personnel.

Virtual Reality (VR) is gaining increasing attention in the research field for its ability to bring real-world settings into the lab. In this in-house experiment, we explore how research devices such as functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be used in combination with VR.
