Shimadzu Portable functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy System for Research*

Near infrared light, which readily diffuses easily through biological tissue, can be used to measure localized blood oxygenation levels of the brain to monitor where activity occurs in response to a task of stimulus.
The portability of LIGHTNIRS allows visualizing brain function activity in real time in a more natural state than other methods. Consequently, it is being used in a wide range of applications including medical research, developmental psychology, education, cognitive science and engineering.

Portability Broadens Range of Research Applications:

• Neuromarketing Research
• Communication research
• Brain-machine interface (BMI) research
• Rehabilitation research

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Higher Measurement Freedom

Portability

Due to the small size and light weight, measurements can be taken while carrying the main unit.

Communication Between Computers

Multiple people can be measured at the same time.

Improved Light-Blocking Characteristics

The lightweight material is efficient at blocking light. It is comfortable and easy to set-up on the test subject.

Selectable optical fiber (8 pairs)
Fiber length is selectable from 1m and 2m.

Data Continuity
Data acquired using a Shimadzu FOIRE-3000 or LABNIRS functional near-infrared spectroscopy system can be loaded directly by the data analysis software included with the LIGHTNIRS system for comparison. Consequently, it can take advantage of existing data sets.

Triple Wavelength Semiconductor Laser Ensures Stable Measurements

Three wavelengths are used to measure variations in the concentration of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which are used as indicators for brain activity.

Easy Operability Via a Graphical User Interface
An intuitive user interface allows setting advanced measurement and analysis parameters by simply clicking buttons.

Measurement Mode
Trend graphs are added for each task or channel, and mapping information is simultaneously integrated during measurements.

• Real Time Monitoring Process Functions

Analysis Mode

• Comprehensive Data Processing Functions
• Statistical Analysis Functions

Permits batch processing with predetermined analysis procedures.

• Batch Processing Functions

General linear model (GLM) statistical processing offers simple statistical analysis and evaluations at the point of measurement. The software provides various data analysis and data processing tools, including independent component analysis (ICA*), frequency filtering, adding tasks, adding channels, as well as centroid and integral values.
