Multimodal Neuroimaging and Machine Learning to Understand Human Behavior
A Yale fNIRS Workshop
Hosted by Yale University in partnership with NIRx Medical Technologies, this event focused on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) related research in the New England region will include presentations from leading fNIRS researchers, panel discussion from a wide range of fNIRS researchers to facilitate communication about current theories and practices in fNIRS research, and a poster session from current fNIRS users.
The goal is to connect fNIRS researchers across engineering, neuroscience, psychology, and clinical disciplines and offer a space to network and share innovative new ways to perform meaningful fNIRS research.
Researchers new to fNIRS are welcome, as well as individuals working with other imaging technologies that are interested in incorporating fNIRS into their studies. Registration is required.
Abstract submissions
For those interested in presenting a poster or talk at this workshop, please note the abstracts will be due October 1, 2024 by 5pm EDT via this google submission form.
