🟡 The authors found the wearable NIRS-EEG headgear offered a good compromise between data quality, infant comfort and experimental success, while opening possibilities for measurements outside the lab, such as home visits.

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The results highlight the importance of comfort and wearability when working with little participants: 🟡 With the wearable setup, 90% of the infants slept, compared to approximately 40% using the non-wearable setup.

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Across two study phases, the researchers moved from a non-wearable NIRS setup to a fully wearable system. For the wearable setup, two BabyBrite systems were combined with EEG to simultaneously record hemodynamic and electrophysiological signals during natural infant sleep.

Especially when taking fNIRS beyond stationary experiments and into studies involving movement, understanding how to detect and address motion artefacts is an important part of getting reliable results. 🔗 Read the full blog post: zurl.co/8rFvu

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The appropriate approach depends on the nature and extent of the artefacts, your research question, and the amount of data available. Combining different approaches can also help improve data quality.

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

🟡 Short Separation Channel regression: using superficial signals to regress extracerebral contributions, including motion artefacts, from normal channels. There is no single solution for every dataset.

100

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

🔵 Wavelet filtering: decomposing the signal into multiple scales to identify and remove artefacts based on statistical criteria.

100

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

🔵 Spline interpolation: correcting short artefactual segments while leaving the remaining data intact. 🟡 Principal Component Analysis (PCA): identifying and removing components associated with artefactual patterns.

100

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

In the third part of our blog series on motion artefacts, we look at different strategies for addressing them while preserving reliable fNIRS data: 🟡 Trial rejection: removing trials or time windows affected by artefacts.

100

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Movement is one of the great advantages of fNIRS, but it can also introduce motion artefacts into your data. So, what can you do when they occur?

Artinis Medical Systems @artinis.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The video also looks at the value of measuring locally across multiple muscle regions, where oxygen consumption can differ even within the same muscle. Curious about muscle NIRS and its applications in sports and exercise research? 🔗 Watch the full introduction:
