We are pleased to share the latest publication of former SAVI Brunel doctoral intern Dr Ségolène Guérin (nowat Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, France).

Clear communication and definitions that are widely accepted are vital to the development of all fields of scientific endeavour – especially so in rapidly-growing, interdisciplinary areas such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), in which researchers represent disciplines as diverse as neuroscience, psychology and engineering. To address this challenge, 76 researchers representing a range of disciplines joined forces to create a community-driven glossary of essential fNIRS terms.

What’s inside: ✅ 300+ terms are defined ✅ Six categories: analysis, experimental design, hardware, neuroscience, mathematics and physics ✅ Abbreviations, symbols, references, alternative definitions, figures and much more

Congrats to Ségolène and her colleagues on this living, open-access resource designed to enhance scientific communication, support education and lower barriers for researchers entering the field of fNIRS. 👏
