Yes. When needed, LUMO fNIRS can support full-head brain imaging and offer remarkable flexibility in targeting particular cortical regions. Researchers can precisely position sensors over the cortical areas pertinent to their study thanks to its modular HD-DOT architecture, which makes use of interchangeable sensor tiles, custom-built headgear, and configurable docks.

Target Specific Cortical Regions

Researchers can configure layouts for imaging:

  • Prefrontal cortex

  • Motor cortex

  • Visual cortex

  • Temporal regions

  • Parietal cortex

  • Multiple cortical regions simultaneously

This flexibility allows researchers to tailor sensor placement to the specific objectives of each study.

Modular Sensor Configuration

  • Sensor tiles can be added to dock arrays either completely or partially, enabling anything from thorough whole-head imaging to targeted region-of-interest studies.

  • Using the same HD-DOT platform, researchers can readily change sensor layouts as their needs change.

Custom Headgear for Different Participant Groups

Custom headgear is available for:

  • Neonates

  • Infants

  • Children

  • Adults

Headgear can also include bespoke modifications such as cut-outs, adjustable straps, and interchangeable light guides to optimize optical coupling for different experimental requirements and participant populations.

Flexible Brain Imaging for Evolving Research

This level of customization enables researchers to design highly targeted experiments while retaining the flexibility to expand cortical coverage or modify sensor layouts as research objectives change.

Key Customization Features of LUMO fNIRS

  • Configurable HD-DOT architecture for targeted or whole-head brain imaging.

  • Precise sensor placement over specific cortical regions.

  • Supports imaging of the prefrontal, motor, visual, temporal, and parietal cortices.

  • Configurable dock arrays for region-of-interest or full-head imaging.

  • Custom headgear available for neonates, infants, children, and adults.

  • Optional cut-outs, adjustable straps, and interchangeable light guides for optimized optical coupling.

  • Expand or modify sensor layouts as research objectives evolve without replacing the system.
