Educational mini-course proposal instructions

For the 2020 fNIRS Conference to be held Oct 11-14, 2020 in Boston, we are planning an expanded educational workshop with multiple mini-courses running in parallel and repeated over the weekend of October 10-11, 2020.

To meet the growing needs of the fNIRS community, and provide courses at the beginner and advance level, we envision that academics and companies will want to offer a mini-course on, for example, their specific hardware, software, or any other relevant training topics.

About the Logo

This year logo has a special meaning, which I want to share with you all.

Twenty years ago, supported by an NIH P41 center grant, David Boas started an important educational program: the MGH Martinos Center fNIRS course, a 2-day course designed to introduce new users to functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
