{"product_id":"biosignalsplux-fnirs-pioneer-kit","title":"Biosignalsplux fNIRS Pioneer Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FNIRS Pioneer Kit contains all the necessary equipment for signal acquisition using the biosignalsplux FNIRS (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) sensor and includes a 4-channel biosignalsplux hub, the FNIRS sensor, a hub charger, and a PLUX-tested Bluetooth dongle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FNIRS is a user-friendly, non-invasive, and portable sensor that utilizes two emitting LEDs – one in the red and one in the infrared spectral range – to measure the reflection of red and infrared light in cortical tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light emitted by each of these LEDs is absorbed by a photodiode, with the resulting current used to calculate an estimate of blood oxygen saturation levels in the monitored brain region or tissue. This method, combined with the sensor's design, provides a non-invasive way to monitor brain activity applicable in a variety of research areas, including biomedicine, psychophysiology, and other functional neuroimaging applications (e.g., brain-computer interface development). Furthermore, the acquired sensor data can be used to derive heart rate information, which can be utilized for further analysis of cardiac activity (e.g., heart rate variability).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for Developers and Researchers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most biosignalsplux sensors that provide a pre-conditioned analog output, this sensor offers a digital output signal that can be received via SPI. Although designed for signal acquisition on the forehead, the light intensity of each electrode can be individually adjusted using the biosignalsplux API. This allows for adapting light intensities when this sensor is used on other body parts or for research applications with different requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloped in Collaboration with Charles River Analytics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the development of this sensor, PLUX teamed up with Charles River Analytics (CRA) to offer a new, cost-effective, miniaturized FNIRS sensor that enables the acquisition of high-quality brain activity data even in environments with strong physical movements – and at a fraction of the cost of currently available FNIRS systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with research partners at CRA and McLean Hospital (Harvard Medical School), the development and results of this sensor were thoroughly investigated outside the laboratory. These findings are presented in the research team's publication, \"A System to Monitor, Extract, and Decode Indicators of Cognitive Workload (MEDIC) in Realistic, High-motion Environments.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x wireless 4-channel hub\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x FNIRS sensor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Bluetooth dongle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x medical charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Software (digital content)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/support.pluxbiosignals.com\/knowledge-base\/introducing-opensignals-revolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"OpenSignals\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOpenSignals\u003c\/a\u003e for real-time data acquisition and visualization\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=info.plux.opensignalsmobile\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"OpenSignalsAPK\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOpenSignals Mobile App (Android)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-platform APIs for software development in Python, C++, Visual C#, Java, Android, and MATLAB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4-channel Hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog ports: 4 universal inputs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional ports: 1 ground connection\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: Up to 16 bits (per channel)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSampling rate: Up to 3 kHz (per channel)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunication: Bluetooth Class II\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: Up to ~10 m (expandable)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal memory: Not included (optional 16 GB available)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery life: ~10 h streaming;
