  • The engineering is impressive. The actual information you get out of the technique feels considerably less so.
  • Cool stuff :)

    What's the relationship between the blood flow and energy use? I know fMRI uses BOLD which then has an IIRC ~6s expected pattern that you apply as a convolution on the data, as it's looking at the oxygenation of the blood. Here it's energy use -> vasodilation -> change in blood flow - what's the relationship like between those?

  • That's cool. Ultrasound imaging should be much more broadly available, like household object next to your toothbrush. I wonder how OpenWater open-source focused ultrasound stimulation is doing.
  • Very interesting, great write up, and awesome blog in general!

    I never got to invest serious time in this idea, but MMW: trimodal EEG+fNIRS+fUSI dry headsets are going to change everything. Each technique has its strengths, and there are already people hacking together trimodal prototypes as we speak.

  • How do you propose to solve the “rigid skull” problem (footnote 2 in the post)? Most people like having theirs intact during diagnostic imaging.

    I await clinical use of this with bated breath…
