Among many neuroimaging tools, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a rising star. It uses infrared light to peer into the brain, unlocking secrets of our cognitive processes, emotions and behaviors. There has been an exponential increase in the use of fNIRS in neuroscience during the past decades.

This presentation will introduce this non-invasive, cutting-edge neuroimaging technology and outline how it can revolutionize our understanding of the brain. The possibility of visualizing and understanding the unseen activities of our minds can lead to the enhancement of mental health treatments or the improvement of educational strategies and beyond.
