Abstract
Functional near infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is an imaging modality that can continuously and non-invasively measure the hemodynamic response to a stimulus. In our research laboratory at Pourrezaei Labs, fNIR has been used to assess the hemodynamic response to different types and levels of pain. The hardware of the fNIR system is often expensive and requires extensive consultation and expertise to control its behavior. This thesis is dedicated to replicating some of the simple functional requirements of the fNIR system using the Arduino platform. The Arduino provides a flexible and independent environment to load experimental programs on a microcontroller and interface with an electric circuit without disrupting the entire system. There is also a large community around the Arduino platform which offers guidance and education for different projects. Arduino provides an incentive in the domain of research and student-led projects in order to provide a flexible, low-cost and simple platform for students and researchers alike to build and experiment with fNIR technology.
