NeuroJSON ANR Workshop 2026 Participants Exit Survey

We want to thank you for participating in our NeuroJSON ANR Workshop 2026, covering AutoBIDSify and NeuroJSON.io (Day 1), Iso2Mesh and Redbird for fNIRS modeling (Day 2), and NeuroCaptain head-cap and probe montage design (Days 3 & 4)!

To help us further improve our training materials, software tools, and future workshops, please fill out the below exit survey before you complete the workshop.
