Welcome to fNIRS 2022, Boston
We are glad to announce that that the biennial meeting of the Society for functional
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (SfNIRS) will finally be held in Boston after being
postponed twice due to the difficult times we have endured together.
Though we have yet to achieve a full recovery, we have almost 500 registrants, 400 ofwhom will attend in person, surely a good enough number to let the wheel turn again.
From the more than 300 excellent abstract submissions, we have strived to organize aprogram that will promote discussions, inspire audiences and bring valuable insights,
contributing to the further advancement of the field.
We appreciate many colleagues helping us evaluate the submission. Their
contributions helped us select the oral and poster sessions, including a virtual oral
session and 3 poster blitz sessions newly adopted for this hybrid meeting.
The program also includes a keynote talk, eight invited talks introducing each oral
sessions, and a special guest talk for further activation of the field. This year special
session “Neuroergonomics - fNIRS on the Go” aims to explore possible new directions
for fNIRS research. The conference will be preceded by a two-day Educational
Program, which will help strengthen the technical foundations of fNIRS studies.
We thank our eleven sponsors for their generous contributions to this conference, andthe 15 exhibitors, who will show us all their new fNIRS gadget during the conference.
Last but not least, we would like to acknowledge our local colleagues who havearranged for food and coffee and organized social events, and our administrator,
Stacey Ladieu, who, as always, has worked overtime trying to accommodate
everyone’s needs.
We hope you to have a great time in Boston, a sophisticated, academic city filled withtraditional and natural beauties in the lovely autumn season, and we hope thisconference will be fruitful for you.

Slides must be submitted at least one day before your scheduled talk day.
We will provide presenters with the link by email by October 1st, 2022.
The file name of your presentation should start with the session_abstract ID #s followedby the presenting author name as entered when you submitted the abstract:«Session#_#»_«Abstract ID #»_«Presenting_Author», example:
OS1_06_12_name_lastname
We suggest bringing a copy of all the files including movies on a USB key.
Please prepare the slides either in power point or in .pdf. Widescreen or 16:9 layout isrecommended.
The number of slides should be based on the length of your presentation. As a rule ofthumb, you should have one slide per minute of talk time.
If you are including videos in your presentation, it is highly recommended you use astandard codec to avoid playback issues. Exporting the presentation using the Package
for CD option from PowerPoint will ensure that all media files are copied into one
location and file paths are adjusted inside the presentation.
Windows Video Player is installed in the presentation computer.
At the conference before your presentation, we recommend you check with conference
AV to ensure the slides are displayed correctly by the conference computer.
Presenters unable to join in person, will be able to present virtually via zoom. Still, we
ask them to upload their presentation at least one day before their talk, and to connect
15 minuets before the start of the session to test connection and slides.
Virtual oral presenter will be receiving instructions and an individualized zoom link tojoin the oral session prior of their presentation.
Each session will be hosted by at least two chairs and a Zoom technical moderator.
For the Q&A in-person audience will use microphones in the ballroom corridors, virtual
attendees will use the fNIRS chat, Zoom Q&A feature will not be available.

For additional information about file format, file upload etc. please contact Zahra Einalou, at
ZEINALOU@mgh.harvard.edu, or Bryce Carr at BCARR3@mgh.harvard.edu

you with via email• Please prepare the slides either in power point or in .pdf.
• Widescreen or 16:9 layout is recommended.
• Please prepare slides based on the length of your presentation. As a rule ofthumb, you should have one slide per minute of talk time. We suggest 3 slides
for the poster blitz sessions and 10 slides for the Virtual Posters in the Spotlightsession.
• The file name should start with the session_abstract ID # followed by thepresenting author name as entered when you submitted the abstract• «Session#_#»_«Abstract ID #»_«Presenting_Author»• example: PSV_44_56_name_lastname• Virtual Oral presenter will be receiving instructions and an individualized zoom
link to join the virtual oral session prior of their presentation.
• The day of your presentation you will have to connect to zoom 15 minuets before
the start of the session to test connection and slides.
• Please ensure that you have a good internet connection, good microphone, and a
webcam available for your presentation. We will ask you to turn the camera on
during your presentation.
• The audience will be muted during the talks and they should use the fNIRS.org
chat page of the presented talk to post questions to the speaker.
• Each Zoom session will be hosted by at least two chairs who will also serve astechnical moderators. The session presenters will be made panelists.
For additional information about the file format and upload please contact Dr. Sabrina

Posters
GatherTown
By September 30, 2022 all posters need to be uploaded to the link we provided byemail• For the upload to gatherTown the poster need to be converted to an image, witheither .png or .jpg format.
• The resolution should be at least 1000 pixel wide and 1000 pixel high.
• More is better but the file size should not exceed 3MB.
• Before uploading the poster, please open the poster with any image software inyour computer and check the resolution quality. If the text in the image is notclear, please save it with higher resolution.
• The file name should start with the session_abstract ID # followed by thepresenting author name as entered when you submitted the abstract:«Session#_#»_«Abstract ID #»_«Presenting_Author», example:
PS2_92_138_name_lastname• During the Poster Sessions presenters are asked to stand next to their poster by
the start of the poster session to be ready to explain the poster. Press X to interact
with the poster (view in full-screen mode).
• GatherTown offers the possibility for the presenter to point at the poster using
the function “Presenter Mode" on the right hand side of the screen when looking
at the poster.
• For more information on how to navigate GatherTown check:

For additional information about the file format and upload please contact Dr. Fen
Zhang Fen.Zhang@icfo.eu

In-Person
Posters in Session 1, Session 2 and Session 3 will also be presented in-person at theconference.
• Printed poster dimension cannot exceed 42 inches wide and 42 inches high.
• Posters need to be mounted the morning of your session and removed by the endof the day.
• Your poster location is marked by the session#_# id (example PS3_12).
• Virtual only Posters do not have a poster board and do not need to be printed.
We suggest you to prepare your poster in a landscape format, because it fits thecomputer screen better when seen in Gathertown. Poster boards are 4 feet high and 8feet wide with two posters on each. To give equal space and allow for some separation
to the two presenters, posters cannot be more than 42″ wide.

Educational Courses - Schedule

Preceding the conference on October 8 and 9 2022, we will run an educational course
which will include multiple minicourses running in parallel and repeated over the
weekend.
Please note that this event does not have any virtual option
We will start Saturday morning with the fNIRS introduction that has been a traditionalpart of the SfNIRS pre-conference educational course. The lecture will be followed on
Saturday afternoon and all day on Sunday by parallel sessions to provide minicourses
hands-on demonstrations on more focused topics.
