Kernel publishes technical description of the Flow TD-fNIRS headset

Kernel/Kernel Flow

Kernel described the Flow TD-fNIRS headset in the Journal of Biomedical Optics, demonstrating how it miniaturizes research-grade optical brain imaging into wearable modules. The system uses time-domain fNIRS technology to measure brain blood flow.

• Kernel Flow weighs 2.05 kg with 52 modules in four plates fitting to head
• Uses picosecond laser pulses to estimate photon scattering in brain tissue
• Miniaturizes complex TD-fNIRS technology into wearable form
• FDA authorized study using Flow to measure ketamine effects on the brain
