NIRS Lab
Welcome to the NIRS Lab!
The Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Lab is a part of the Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research at the the Stanford School of Medicine. The NIRS team is working on furthering our understanding of brain functioning through the use of near infrared spectroscopy and functional NIRS technology.
Our fNIRS equipment is available for rent to the Stanford Research Community! Please contact suannam@stanford.edu if you are interested in learning more!
What is fNIRS?
What is functional near-infrared spectroscopy? This portable, mobile, functional neuroimaging device has many capabilities! Learn more about this technique.

Diversity in Neuroscience
Diversity is crucial in neuroscience to ensure inclusive and representative findings, and with fNIRS, we strive to study brain activity in diverse populations and real-world settings.

Neural Synchronization
fNIRS neural synchronization (also known as hyperscanning) allows researchers to simultaneously monitor the brain activity of two or more individuals.
Neural Signals in Children
fINRS is an excellent technique for studying brain activity in children due to it being noninvasive and adaptable to movement.
