MNE-NIRS: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis

MNE-NIRS is an MNE compatible near-infrared spectroscopy processing package.

MNE has support for common fNIRS waveform analysis (see tutorial), this package adds additional GLM style analysis, helper functions, algorithms, and plotting.

Documentation

Documentation for this project is hosted here.

Examples

• MNE examples:

  • Basic waveform analysis pipeline.
  • Artifact rejection discussion.

• MNE-NIRS examples:

  • Simulated haemodynamic response GLM analysis.
  • Measured haemodynamic response GLM analysis.
  • Group level GLM analysis.
  • Signal enhancement.
  • Frequency and filtering.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome (more than welcome!). Contributions can be feature requests, improved documentation, bug reports, code improvements, new code, etc. Anything will be appreciated. Note: this package adheres to the same contribution standards as MNE.
