LUMO

Wearable high-density fNIRS / HD-DOT system

Lightweight, wearable, high-density functional near-infrared brain imaging that combines high imaging capability with experimental flexibility. Its modular design scales as your research grows: bulky fibre and cable bundles disappear, set-up time drops, data quality rises.

  • Fibreless · wearable
  • Resolution comparable to fMRI
  • Whole-head coverage
  • Infants and adults

Highlights

  • Spatial resolution comparable to fMRI thanks to thousands of overlapping, multi-distance channels
  • Accurate removal of physiological noise with a dense short-separation channel network across the field of view
  • Cortical coverage from a single region to the whole head; subjects of every age
  • Significantly lower cost per channel than low-density systems
  • Far fewer motion artefacts thanks to the fibreless, low-profile headgear
  • 100 Hz motion tracking with a 6-axis IMU in every tile
  • Real-time streaming of fNIRS and auxiliary data over Lab Streaming Layer

How it works

Tiles, docks, light guides, headgear

At the heart of LUMO are independent hexagonal sensor tiles, each with 3 dual-wavelength sources and 4 detectors. Docks fasten to the headgear in the configuration you choose and link with low-profile cabling; light guides comb through hair to reach the scalp; caps and headbands for every age carry 3 to 54 docks.

Caps made to order

Flexible neoprene LUMO caps fit every head shape with an adjustable chin strap. Headbands in 3- or 6-dock configurations serve targeted single-region imaging; neonatal caps are designed for head circumferences under 40 cm. Every cap is made in the workshop to your exact needs.
