This is a different technology that uses optical methods, but the ninja FNIRS project is very exciting and open source. They seem to have a solid and modular hardware design. I know someone who uses a commercial NIRS instrument in a clinical research setting and they said this open source system looks far more capable.

- mhb 4y agoDoes it say anywhere on that web site WTF fNIRS is? "OpenfNIRS is driven by the community to support the community in the use of fNIRS." Edit: They sort of mention it, apparently en passant, on https://openfnirs.org/standards/ https://openfnirs.org/standards/: "Shared Near Infrared Spectroscopy Format (SNIRF) is designed by the community in an effort to facilitate sharing and analysis of NIRS data."

- mkaic 4y agoThis is super fascinating. I've been itching to get into BCI hacking recently, I've got some ideas regarding deep learning integrations and it makes me happy to know that if I could just get my act together, there is consumer-available hardware I could use to start messing around with!
