fNIRS Hyperscanning: An Introduction

A couple weeks ago, Dr Pascal Vrticka had the privilege to organise a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning workshop at the Department of Psychology, University of Essex (Colchester, United Kingdom). The workshop was supported by Trinh Nguyen (Italian Institute of Technology, Rome), the SoNeAt Lab & Artinis Medical Systems, and hosted by SIRG SoNeAt as part of SEAS. There were close to 30 participants from all around Europe who mostly just started to use fNIRS hyperscanning or are planning to do so in the near future.

In a new post, Dr Vrticka shares some of the content that was covered during the workshop to make it accessible to a wider audience. The following topics are included in the post (so far):

1. What is fNIRS Hyperscanning?
2. What is the main measure derived from fNIRS hyperscanning?
3. How do I ensure that I obtain high quality fNIRS hyperscanning data?
4. Which data analysis steps does fNIRS hyperscanning involve?
5. How is interpersonal neural synchrony derived from fNIRS hyperscanning data?
6. What about control analyses?
7. What else do I need to keep in mind?
