Scientific Reports paper measures how reliable brain metrics from the Kernel Flow headset are across sessions
Kernel published a study in Scientific Reports demonstrating that brain metrics from its Flow2 optical neuroimaging headset are highly reliable across days and headsets in 49 healthy people. Resting-state metrics such as haemoglobin levels and functional connectivity remained stable, and auditory and Go/No-Go cognitive tasks produced consistent activation patterns across testing sessions.
- Repeatability tested across days and different headset units in 49 healthy participants; resting-state metrics (haemoglobin, functional connectivity) highly reliable.
- Cognitive tasks (auditory, Go/No-Go) showed similar activation patterns across sessions, supporting use as biomarkers for neuropsychiatric conditions.
- Study validates Flow2 for longitudinal neuroimaging and treatment monitoring; recent TMS response prediction study achieved 87% accuracy from pre-treatment brain measurements.
