CI Crash 2023

The 14th Annual CI CRASH will be held in person October 20-21, 2023 at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis Campus in Walter Library, room 402.

This is a 1.5-day event that brings together cochlear implant researchers to present CI or CI-related research that is brand new, potentially confusing, and above all interesting. We discourage formal talks. Instead, the format is one in which informal “chalk talks” focus mostly on data, work in progress, and future directions.

Intro & Overview of fNIRS & NIRx

Monday, October 29, 2018, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm | Coffman Memorial Union

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique which uses light to measure blood flow from the cortex; it has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, with publications coming out in nearly every application within the cognitive neurosciences. The presentation will include a demonstration and hands-on session for interacting with the technology given by a technical expert from NIRx Medical Technologies. (Lunch is included.)
