Mapping the Hearing Brain: fNIRS Approaches in Cochlear Implant Science

Join us for a collaborative workshop on the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in cochlear implant (CI) research.

Hosted by Purdue University in collaboration with NIRx Medical Technologies, this event will bring together leading voices in the field, including Dr. Heather Bortfeld, Dr. Jonathan Peelle, Dr. Rene Gifford, and others, to share current practices, analysis techniques, and emerging insights in CI-fNIRS research.

Whether you're new to fNIRS or an experienced user, this event is for you.

We welcome researchers across disciplines who are interested in leveraging fNIRS to advance meaningful, applicable research in the field of CIs and the hard-of-hearing community.

Registration costs includes breakfast and lunch on Friday and breakfast on Saturday.
