Following the tradition of previous biennial meetings, fNIRS Boston will bring together scientists from all over the world to present and discuss the latest developments and advances in diffuse optics for the study of the human brain.

The aims are to identify new opportunities for fNIRS, to delineate the key challenges facing the field and to identify strategies to overcome these challenges.

The program will span the topics of hardware development, data analysis and algorithms, computational neuroscience and neuroscience applications, clinical applications, neonatal, pediatric applications and neurodevelopment neuroscience, cognitive and social neuroscience, and global fNIRS.

Our goal is to present the cutting edge technology and the novel discoveries of the field.
