The NIRSport2 system is our most technologically advanced fNIRS platform with a range of features and functions unparalleled within the market. With the highest-class of components as our starting point we’ve engineered a system boasting impressive signal quality, extensive versatility, modularity, along with the foresight into future research needs to ensure the most optimal user experience and highest success in science possible
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2
Sampling rate: NIRSport2 comes with a maximal data sampling rate of up to 240 Hz.
NIRS fNIRS Source-detector separation
Source-detector separation: NIRSport2 allows multi-distance measurements between 8mm-5cm.
NIRS fNIRS short-channels solution
Dedicated short-channels solution: NIRSport2 implements 8 mm short channels with the possibility of providing one short channel per source.
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 recording via Wi-Fi or USB cable
System Connectivity: The NIRSport2 can be connected to the recording laptop both via Wi-Fi or USB cable. The system broadcasts a Wi-Fi connection whose radius can be enhanced up to 10m using a TP-Link.
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 source illumination with parallel detection
Optimized illumination pattern: the NIRSport2 can run from full-time-multiplexing (individual source illumination with parallel detection) to 4-source frequency encoding (source illumination with parallel detection)
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 Real-time individual channel coupling quality feedback
Real-time individual channel coupling quality feedback during the source brightness optimization
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 high-powered LED sources
Source output brightness: The NIRSport2 operates with high-powered LED sources (1.0v, max 33 mW per wavelength)
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 recording laptop or onboard memory
Data recording: The NIRSport2 can store data both on the recording laptop or onboard memory, allowing standalone measurements outside the laboratory environment
NIRS fNIRS NIRSport2 can be placed in a backpack or on a hip belt
Portability: the system can be placed in a backpack or on a hip belt - part of the system starter kit - which ensures weight redistribution in participants with impaired movement
NIRS fNIRS BCI NIRSport2 system allows multimodal recordings LSL
Built-in synchronization and real-time analysis capabilities: the NIRSport2 system allows multimodal recordings by supporting wired (TTL) and wireless (Lab Streaming Layer) synchronization protocols, tested for an error within a few milliseconds
NIRS fNIRS ICBM-152 head model 37 cm to about 60cm
Dedicated (free) optode configuration software: NIRx NIRSite is a visual GUI-based tool that specifies the arrangement of NIRS sources and detectors on the widely-used ICBM-152 head model. EEG landmarks are provided as guidance. Both adults and infant atlases are available to help to place the optodes in the correct position using the 10/10 or 10/20 system positions for a head circumference from about 37 cm to about 60cm
NIRS fNIRS Hyperscanning Neuroscience Research
Hyperscanning capability: three NIRSport2 can be simultaneously linked to one recording laptop. The set up and recordings can be administered through one interface, the hyperscan app
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier three NIRSport2 8x8 can be combined to achieve up to 94 channels
Number of channels: three NIRSport2 8x8 can be daisy chained to achieve a 24x24 coverage. The recording software sees the three devices as one single divide, allowing for cross-channels and major coverage. A NIRSport 24x24 can be combined to achieve up to 94 channels (70 standard channels ~3cm spacing, 24 short detector channels ~8mm)
NIRS fNIRS with Physiological measurement
Physiological measurement: The NIRSport2 can be combined with the NIRxWINGS module for synchronous recording of physiological measurements such as ECG, HR, respiration, muscular activity, PPG, SpO2, and GSR to improve data quality
NIRS fNIRS Amplifier NIRSport2 Software and warranty
Software License Key: NIRx offers unlimited licenses for a lifetime for its data acquisition (Aurora), montage design (NIRSite), and basic data analysis software (NirsLab).
System warranty: NIRx offers a standard 3-year warranty, which can be extended up to 5 years, and can provide spare parts for up to 7 years
