Summary:We can obtain valuable information about the human brain using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). This paper describes the theoretical basis associated with this neuroimaging method through a custom-made prototype of a single-channel fNIRS device. The optodes were soldered to a milled Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and enclosed in a 3D printed housing. Using this fNIRS device, we performed a preliminary study to measure emotional responses from participants. Our results suggest that fNIRS allows for accurate measurement of emotions evoked by positive and negative images.
