The University of Salford awarded a contract to Gowerlabs Ltd for the purchase of a high-density functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device capable of diffuse optical tomography (DOT).

The device is intended for assessing activity in the prefrontal cortex of adults, with a preference for measurements from anywhere around the cortical surface.

It required a relatively portable form factor, likely LED-based rather than laser optics, with accessibility and usability as key considerations for student research use.

Associated data collection hardware (e.g., laptops) and software for data acquisition were included, while data analysis software was not essential.

The contract value was £70,420.
