Welcome to Global fNIRS
Globalfnirs is a multidisciplinary project dedicated to advancing global health initiatives through the use of a low cost, portable and non-invasive neuroimaging technology, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Our goal is to provide tools which supplement current methods for assessing cognitive function of the developing brain in resource poor settings. We believe that establishing earlier and more objective biomarkers of typical and atypical cognitive development will be of value in assessing interventional outcomes and risk prevention strategies.

Had an exciting day at @unimelb talking about our @bright_project #EEG work and chattimg about how these markers can be used in context of nutrition interventions. Great to see the growing interest in this line of research!
Our first two publications are being featured in the lates @BirkbeckUoL newsletter- find our more about our most recent findings. https://t.co/5JdMMt3EnH
Early exposure to adversity may affect how quickly 5-8 month old infants brain responses adapt to repeated stimuli and how strongly they respond to new stimuli.
