Does it say anywhere on that web site WTF fNIRS is?

"OpenfNIRS is driven by the community to support the community in the use of fNIRS."

Edit: They sort of mention it, apparently en passant, on https://openfnirs.org/standards/:

"Shared Near Infrared Spectroscopy Format (SNIRF) is designed by the community in an effort to facilitate sharing and analysis of NIRS data."




Some extra context:

EEG has poor spatial resolution, but great time resolution. It measures electrical activity.

fNIRS has a great spatial resolution, but poor time resolution. It measures blood flow in specific parts of the brain.


functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy, like fMRI
