It was nice to reflect on the past 20 years of my involvement with #fnirs in Latin America, and Brazil in particular! Thanks to @annadevor.bsky.social and Neurophotonics for such a special issue, and @edgarguevara.bsky.social for taking the lead on this text and inviting me to contribute!

One of the hardest - and most rewarding - papers I've published so far! Proud to share the FRESH initiative results published in @commsbio.nature.com - a true landmark in fNIRS collaboration and wake-up call on fNIRS data analysis. Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s420... 👇
