Fig. 1: Our proposed fNIRS platform.

The platform integrates (a) a 17-channel, wearable, wireless, portable fNIRS system used in a home or office setting and a tablet application that enables (b) proposed AR-guided placement of the device in a proper and reproducible manner, c wireless recording of brain activity while guiding the user throughout a set of carefully designed cognitive tasks; and d a HIPAA-compliant, cloud solution for researchers to remotely manage users’ brain response and cognitive outcomes. This setup highlights the modular design and the seamless integration of technology to enable self-administration and remote monitoring.
