LABNIRS can be applied to brain function research and Cognitive Psychology
drug development for research into mental illnesses,
such as depression and schizophrenia. It is expected to Social Psychology
be used for such application as the prediction of drug
efficacy and as a monitoring tool for therapeutic Development and
efficacy based on brain function. (LABNIRS is not a Basic Research
medical device. Use it for research purposes only.) Education

Brain Functional Up to 80 optical fibers in 40 sets allows simultaneous
Network Research measurements on multiple subjects. The number of
measurement channels can be increased in stages to
Multi-Modality match the aim of the research and the budget.

Multiple channels permit measurement of the entire
head. Rapid data sampling that is five times faster
than conventional instruments captures reactions
resulting from fast neural activities.
