OxySoft

Displays relative concentration changes in oxy-, deoxy-, total hemoglobin, and tissue saturation index (TSI) in real-time

  • Compatible with all our NIRS devices

  • Real-time calculation of oxy-, deoxy-, total hemoglobin concentration changes, and tissue saturation index (TSI)

  • Displays easy-to-understand 2D and 3D plots

  • Supports simultaneous recordings of multiple devices

  • Records and generates events from a wide range of sources

  • All standard analysis techniques can be applied in real-time or posthoc

  • Compatible with e.g. HOMER, NIRS-SPM, FieldTrip, NIRStorm, Polhemus, and more

  • Exports raw data in various formats

  • Enables real-time streaming of data to e.g. Matlab or Python via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL)

The software

OxySoft is our proprietary NIRS recording and analysis software. OxySoft allows robust recordings even of multiple devices at the same time, in any thinkable combination. This means you can combine recordings from several OxyMon’s, PortaMon’s, PortaLite’s, OctaMon’s, or the Brite Family devices within one measurement by using just one program. All data is synchronized and stored in one data file. You can analyze your data in real-time, during the recording, or afterwards.

Features

OxySoft 4

OxySoft 4, our elevated software version, comes with exciting features to facilitate the acquisition and analysis of NIRS and fNIRS data and provides maximum flexibility. It incorporates:

  • Direct and easy export to .snirf

  • Retrieve data integrity in case of a lost Bluetooth connection using the recovery tool 

  • Direct Creation of events using device event mapping

  • Intuitive signal quality assessment with improved UI and implementation of signal quality index (SQI)

  • Options to directly provide feedback and get support with a few clicks

The OxySoft 4 is compatible with all our latest devices, e.g. Brite family, PortaLite MKII, and PortaSync.

OxySoft extensions

We offer the opportunity to access extended visualization options, designed to optimize your measurement protocol, better review your results, and to optimally support your high-impact neuroscience publication. The OxySoft 3D extension can visualize your data on 3D models of the brain of the human head based on the widely used MNI templates.

With the 3D extension you are enabled to:

  • Visualize your data on 3D models of the brain of the human head based on the widely used MNI templates.

  • Use a built-in, intuitive user interface for the Polhemus fast-track device

  • Automatically store the digitized positions of the optodes


Oxysoft 3D & Polhemus digitizer

We have partnered with Polhemus Inc., which creates devices for digitizing objects such as the Polhemus Patriot or Polhemus Fastrack device. Using these devices you can precisely measure the position of the optodes on the subject’s head. OxySoft 3D guides you through this process with a built-in, intuitive user interface. No third-party software is needed for this process. Alternatively, you can import digitized positions from other manufacturers such as ANT’s Xensor or Magstim’s EEG pinpoint device. OxySoft automatically stores the digitized positions of the optodes and transforms and then visualizes them on the integrated 3D models. This not only allows you to better review your data and results but additionally allows you to report back the optode positions in MNI coordinate space.
