MNE-NIRS: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis

UNDER DEVELOPMENT. The API is still in development, feedback is appreciated.

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

MNE has support for some common analysis procedures (see tutorial), this package adds additional helper functions, algorithms, and plotting. Functionality that is widely used from this package may be merged in to MNE.

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.
  • 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.

Acknowledgements

This package is built on top of many other great packages. These should be acknowledged if you use this package.
