Join @dennyschaedig.bsky.social to learn about our lab's new tool for modeling the HRF in NIRS research! Free webinar with tutorial on how to implement the HRfunc in your own samples.

Tools like these promote data sharing and study harmonization, so please use and share widely!

This project was led by the amazing @dennyschaedig.bsky.social, who can answer questions about the tool. We also thank @drkoraly.bsky.social and Nadine Melhem for their contributions to the samples tested and Lucca Pollonini for his engineering knowledge!

The HRfunc website HRfunc.org is loaded with user tutorials and video guides for new users! This is where you can submit your own HRFs to be shared with the NIRS community. Follow @hrfunc.org on Bluesky for additions to the HRtree library as user submissions become available.

HRfunc | Hemodynamics and Neural Activity
HRfunc is the home for hemodynamic response function estimation, with a practical guide and an easy HRF upload portal for researchers.

HRfunc is a freely available tool that estimates a HRF based on your own study sample. The companion HRtree allows users to submit their HRFs, share with others, and search for HRFs based on sample characteristics and task. We hope this tool is a step in harmonizing and standardizing fNRIS studies.

So excited to announce HRfunc, a new tool for estimating neural activity in fNIRS studies, published this week in Neurophotonics www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/neu...

I'm late to post because I've fallen off of Bluesky, but I'm thrilled that these grants were reinstated and also sad for the challenges we are facing as scientists!

Yesterday was a good day for me, @drperlman.bsky.social and our trainees. We had TWO supplements reinstated by NIMH! But, you have to ask, why make our youngest scientists have to deal with these uncertainties and personal rebukes?

My lab is happy to have our research assistant position reposted after it was taken down due to funding concerns. Ideal for recent graduates interested in child neurodevelopment lab experience for gradschool or medschool. wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Professor Susan Perlman wrote to Missouri 🌈 about the cascading costs of science cuts, like: ‘Ten full-time scientists from my lab will lose jobs…tax dollars will be drained when they collect unemployment…tuition will skyrocket’... 🧪🏠 @drperlman.bsky.social www.timesnewspapers.com/webster-kirk...
