mNIRS: The home of muscle near-infrared spectroscopy news

How can you use mNIRS to measure muscle blood flow? See my latest education blog https://t.co/lDqdU9coFh . I feel this venous occlusion method is an under utilised technique. Kudos to Roberto de Blasi for inventing it in 1994. I fondly remember visiting him in Rome 20 years ago

I’ve just launched MuscleNIRS, a new site for education and discussion about muscle near infrared spectroscopy (mNIRS).

Six short educational pieces are already online, with more topical blog posts to follow.

BDNF Modulates Prefrontal Cortex Activity in the Context of Physical Exercise, Measured via fNIRS
Dr. Flaminia Ronca, University College London, London, UK
In the final talk Flaminia reminded us that we need our brains to exercise (and enjoy @isott2025). Don't forget fNIRS!

Moxy: An Algorithm for Real-Time Measurement of Muscle Oxygen Saturation With Useful Accuracy
Mr. Roger Schmitz, Moxy Monitor, Hutchinson, USA
Roger modestly informed us of how "useful" his algorithm was for measuring SmO2. A great description of his method.
