In this recent study neural correlates of four motor acquisition modes were explored: motor execution, imagery, action observation, and mirror visual feedback—in a reaching/grasping task. fNIRS measurements across primary, supplementary, and premotor cortices demonstrated implications for: ?? Advancing motor BCIs—especially for people with hemiparesis ?? Tailoring motor rehabilitation for individual patient needs (e.g., after stroke) ??

??? Can your brain handle the heat? A recent study using fNIRS investigates how environmental heat stress impacts cognitive performance: ?? Heat stress alone reduces PFC oxygenation and impairs cognition. ?? Surprisingly, exercise in the heat increases oxygenation and helps offset the detrimental effects of heat on cognition . These findings highlight the complex relationship between thermoregulation, physical activity, and brain function. ??

We are testing new concepts to use the EEG/fNIRS hybrid at ADEPT lab these days, I am so excited and will come with more news soon??

Day 2 of our Maastricht workshop: TMS-fNIRS in the spotlight! ?? ??? A huge thank you to Felix Duecker (Maastricht University) and Costanza Iester (Genoa University) for leading a fantastic session on TMS-fNIRS! Unlike fMRI or EEG, fNIRS integrates seamlessly with TMS, overcoming typical artifacts and giving us a clearer window into how the brain responds to stimulation. This makes it a game-changer for neurostimulation research, unlocking new possibilities for personalized treatments and deeper insights into brain function. Exciting times for neuroimaging! ?? #TMS #fNIRS #Neuroimaging #BrainStimulation #NIRx #ResearchInnovation

??Trezzi et al., investigated the effect of a synbiotic supplementation enriched with pigmented corn extract in drug-na?ve children with ADHD. ??The 3-month, randomised, double-blind trial aimed to investigate the efficacy of this supplementation on fatty acids levels, microbiota composition, behaviour, cognition, and brain function using fNIRS in children with ADHD. ??https://lnkd.in/eW277hEt #ADHD #Synbiotic #fNIRS #Microbiota

?? What does fNIRS bring to fMRI? – A fantastic keynote by Prof. Rainer Goebel during day 1 of our #fNIRS #fMRI #TMS workshop in Maastricht yesterday! Prof. Goebel explored how the combination of fNIRS and fMRI is unlocking new possibilities and insights in neuroimaging. #NIRx

??Heard of the hyper-brain independent component analysis (HB-ICA)? An approach for detecting inter-brain networks from #fNIRS - hyperscanning data! ??HB-ICA method can be complementary to the traditional WTC-based methods for interpersonal neural synchrony calculation. ??This research describes how it can further be applied to investigate the multi-brain networks of groups containing more than two participants. ??https://lnkd.in/eXWD55P9

??This exciting new work by Premchand et al. has developed a promising multimodal EEG-fNIRS soft robotics brain-computer interface (BCI-SR) for stroke patients. ??The work holds promise in engaging stroke patients and promoting neuroplasticity for better motor improvements.
