<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Coming August (24-25<sup>th</sup>) the <a href="http://www.ibs-lab.com/">
IBS Lab</a> hosts a free 1.5-day Cedalion Workshop at the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) in Berlin. We have already received over 100 registrations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The workshop focuses on machine learning/data-driven and model-based analysis of optical brain imaging data from fNIRS and DOT data in Python using the open-source Cedalion toolbox.
<br>
A major Cedalion Release (v2026.05) is imminent, which includes many powerful features from freesurfer-compatible head models to multimodal signal decomposition techniques.<br>
Cedalion integrates and extends core functionality from the leading matlab fNIRS toolboxes HOMER3 and AtlasViewer, while leveraging the Python ecosystem for modern multimodal data analysis and machine learning, targeting applications in everyday-world neuroscience
and brain–computer interfacing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The workshop follows the upcoming 2026 release and is paired with a comprehensive tutorial.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is co-hosted with the Boston University Neurophotonics Center. Includes a hands-on fNIRS introduction by NIRx Medical Technologies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
