4 Overview
Welcome to NIRStar! NIRStar is designed to function as a multiplatform instrument controlling
environment that offers maximum flexibility to support the many investigational paradigms that the NIRx
line of NIRSport and NIRScout functional imaging systems can explore. Whether your aim is to perform
mobile studies with the NIRSport or high density hyperscanning measurements with the NIRScoutX,
NIRStar gives you a wealth of system control and real-time display capabilities that are designed to
maximize the investigational opportunities accessible with NIRS.
Principal features of NIRStar include:
Automated instrument recognition upon software startup.
Ability to run full or partial sensing configurations.
Tandem operation for all instrument types.
Programmable source control to support multisite brain studies (e.g., left and right
hemispheres).
Automated logging of input triggers from 3
rd
party devices.
Programmable specification of output triggers to 3
rd
party devices (NIRScoutX only).
User-controlled manual trigger input.
NIRStim™ integrated stimulation software
Real-time data streaming to 3
rd
party devices (requires NIRx SDK).
Multiple real-time display screens.
Montage viewing options: Glass view, optode locations and standard EEG positions (international
10-10 system).
Sensor registration onto anatomical displays (scalp, cortical, MNI brain).
Real-time updates of hemodynamic response to event related protocols.
Real-time hyperscanning topographic displays (Hb
deoxy
, Hb
oxy
, Hb
total
).
Multiple system check displays to ensure data quality.
Programmable display capability to highlight preselected sensor locations.
Automated gain adjustment to maximize dynamic range of measurement.
On-line frequency filtering of displayed results.
User GUI for specification of custom optode configurations.
