Thank you for your feedback!
Flow2 is our production-grade TD-fNIRS system. Flow2 is designed to give whole-head coverage for most wearers, with 40 module locations. The DevKit uses the same modules and base technology but provides the ability to tailor the hardware setup precisely to your experimental needs by employing a soft cap design. See the below specifications table for comparison of various features.
NOTE:
The DevKit shipment arrives with the 12 modules and 6 EEG electrodes pre-assembled in a soft cap as a reference design. The modules and electrodes can easily be removed for setup in a cap of your own design.
