Dear all I'm starting on fNIRS data analysis and I'm planning to use open source toolboxes. I found that Homer and Nirslab are the best for MATLAB and MNE for Python. Which one do you prefer and why? Best Lucas
Open source fNIRS data analysis, Homer, NIRSLab or MNE?
All of the options you mentioned, Homer, NIRSLab, and MNE, are open-source tools for analyzing functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) data.
Homer (HyperOxford multivariate analysis of fNIRS data) is a software tool for processing, analyzing and visualizing fNIRS data.
NIRSLab is a MATLAB-based toolbox for processing and analyzing fNIRS data.
MNE (Meg/EEG and Neuromag) is a Python-based software for analyzing MEG, EEG, and fNIRS data, providing a comprehensive and unified framework for the analysis of neurophysiological data.
In terms of specific capabilities and suitability, it depends on your specific needs and preferences for data processing, analysis, and visualization. You may want to try out each of these tools and see which one works best for your particular use case.
