NIRS Community Resources
- The Society for functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
- The Society for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SfNIRS) is a professional organization of basic and clinical scientists who seek to understand the functional properties of biological tissues, especially the brain, using optical methods. The aim of the Society is to promote the exchange of ideas, interdisciplinary collaboration, and education.
- The society runs a conference every two years and hosts a Facebook  page from which one can connect with the international fNIRS community.
