Understanding how young children connect and collaborate with others is key to unlocking early development.

In their recent article, St. Clair et al. (2025) use fNIRS hyperscanning to examine neural coherence between children aged 4 to 6 and their mothers during joint tasks, offering a clear view of how brain activity aligns in real time during social interaction. One of the strengths of this paper is the care taken in handling the data. By refining the analysis approach for developmental hyperscanning, the authors help ensure that the observed synchrony reflects real interaction effects rather than noise.
The study also points to something important: factors like maternal stress can influence this neural alignment, highlighting how both interaction and environment shape early development. Altogether, it brings us closer to understanding how collaboration, learning, and social bonding are reflected at the neural level.

We are very pleased to share that ESA French astronaut Sophie Adenot has successfully carried out PhysioTool, one of the scientific experiments of CNES, the French space agency, aboard the International Space Station.

Artinis is proud to contribute to this experiment with the PortaLite device as part of this setup, which supports physiological monitoring in space and advances our understanding of human adaptation in microgravity.

Congratulations to Sophie Adenot and to all teams involved, including the scientists from the University and University Hospital of Angers, as well as the engineers from MEDES, for making this achievement possible.

We look forward to the scientific insights generated through this work and cannot wait to learn more with the upcoming sessions.

🧠 fNIRS & workplace wellbeing. What does research on cognitive stress at work look like in practice?

🟡 Landowska et al. showed that adaptive cognitive training reduces prefrontal mental workload over 8 weeks, with performance gains persisting at follow-up, combining augmented reality and portable fNIRS for ecologically valid assessment.

🔵 Otu et al. developed a real-time stress monitoring system for factory and logistics workers, using fNIRS and machine learning to classify cognitive stress, and turning the output into two practical Android applications.

How does attention hold up when we move through complex, distracting environments?
A recent study by Krelove et al. explored this question by combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with augmented reality during walking tasks. Using a virtual obstacle course with added distractions, the authors investigated how the prefrontal cortex responds when attention is challenged in real time.
The researchers used the OctaMon to measure prefrontal activity while participants navigated obstacles, showing how wearable fNIRS enables the assessment of cognitive processes such as attention in dynamic, naturalistic settings.

🟡 Augmented reality tasks allowed precise control over distraction and task difficulty
🔵 fNIRS captured prefrontal activation during real walking and obstacle avoidance
🟡 Wearable fNIRS systems make it possible to study attention under realistic movement conditions

🧠 fNIRS & cognitive aging. What does research on cognitive health in older adults look like in practice?

🟡 Qi et al. showed that just 6 minutes of brisk walking or Tai Chi enhances prefrontal hemodynamic activity and improves cognitive performance. A simple, accessible intervention with measurable brain-level effects.
🔵 Mao et al. developed a NIRS-based polynomial regression model that identifies mild cognitive impairment with 83% accuracy during a 3-minute working memory task, bringing real-time cognitive screening closer to reality.

Wearable neurotechnology is turning brain signals into actionable tools for healthy aging in the clinic, the community, and beyond.

How can we better understand cognitive and neural changes across the aging process?
In this interview, Claudia Gonzalez, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Thompson Rivers University, shares how her research uses neuroimaging to study neurocognitive aging. Her work focuses on linking brain activity with cognitive performance to better characterize healthy aging trajectories and to distinguish them from changes associated with neurocognitive disease.
fNIRS plays a central role in this work. Using the Brite, her lab investigates brain–behavior relationships across diverse populations, while also integrating other techniques such as eye tracking, fMRI, and neurostimulation to build a more complete picture of cognitive and mental processes.

🟡 fNIRS supports the study of cognition and mental state across aging populations
🔵 Brain activity is linked with behavior to better understand neurocognitive change
🟡 The Brite enables flexible, accessible brain imaging for interdisciplinary research

🤸‍♀️ When movement challenges the mind, what happens to working memory?
In a recent study, Lin et al. examined how gymnastics tasks with high versus low cognitive demands affect working memory performance and frontal brain activity in children. By combining movement-based tasks with cognitive challenges, the study provides a closer look at how the developing brain manages working memory under different levels of mental load.

🟡 High and low cognitive load gymnastics tasks differently affected working memory
🔵 Frontal brain activity reflected changes in cognitive demand
🟡 The wearable Brite fNIRS device enabled reliable frontal measurements during active, child-friendly tasks

✈️ What happens in the brain when pilots are under pressure?

A recent study by Zhao et al. used fNIRS to measure prefrontal activation in pilots during a simulated flight and discovered a key insight: not all stress is the same.
By comparing different flight scenarios, the researchers showed that the Brite system could successfully distinguish positive (eustress) from negative (distress) based on brain oxygenation patterns. This ability to monitor mental state in real time highlights the potential of fNIRS for applications in cognitive neuroscience research, with promising applications in aviation, safety, and beyond.

🧟‍♂️ What happens in your brain when you’re watching horror movies? And does the way you experience them (audio, visual, or both) make a difference?
In this unique study, Liang et al. used an fNIRS-based BCI (with the OctaMon) to explore how different audiovisual conditions impact prefrontal brain activation while viewing horror content. Whether it was sound-only, video-only, or the full cinematic combo, the study found clear differences in neural responses, suggesting that fNIRS can be a powerful tool to decode media perception and even emotional engagement.

🟡 OctaMon captured real-time hemodynamic changes
🔵 Audiovisual content triggered distinct brain activity patterns
🟡 A fun peek into fNIRS + BCI for media and emotion research
