FNIR System: For Mobile Participants

Photon Fully Portable & Wireless FNIRS Cap by Cortivision

Cortivision PHOTON CAP is a wireless near infrared spectroscope (NIRS) for the functional measurement of the hemodynamic response of the brain. Our device enables non-invasive monitoring of the activity of selected areas of the cerebral cortex, thanks to a set of high-quality emitters and detectors. PHOTON CAP is fully:

  1. MOBILE: Possibility of conducting tests on the move and in non-laboratory conditions.

  2. SAFE: Our device is significantly less invasive than sunlight and passed all safety and scientific-grade trials.

  3. COMPATIBLE: It can be combined with various devices like EEG or VR goggles to provide the necessary data for research and business purposes.
