National fNIRS Consortium (NfC)

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a relatively young bioimaging technique that has revolutionized research possibilities. Compared to other bioimaging devices, fNIRS devices are relatively motion-tolerant as well as portable and wearable. They provide hemodynamic data, like fMRI does. Unlike fMRI, they are budget-friendly and can be used to study the brain and muscle activity during mobile or motion-based tasks, like conversations, environmental exploration, and sports. 

The National fNIRS Consortium (NfC) consists of Netherlands-based scientists who use fNIRS devices for bioimaging as well as potential future users and collaborators.
