Powerful Offline fNIRS Analysis Without Programming

Satori is an easy-to-use fNIRS analysis software developed in collaboration with Brain Innovation and distributed exclusively by NIRx. The core concept is to make fNIRS analysis accessible to all users — providing the most popular processing and statistical tools with full visualisation at every step and no programming required.

All processing steps are documented with the parameters used, giving complete transparency and reproducibility. Satori also integrates Python scripting for users who wish to extend functionality beyond the built-in toolset.
