Announcing our new feature: phNIRS. PsychoJS v2022.2.0 will provide fNIRS neuroimaging straight from iPhone13+ using the built-in cameras. Caveat: participants must hold the camera to the back of their head, so combining with visual stimulation will require 2 devices.
Jon, the creator of PsychoPy, holds a phone to the back of his head to try out new phNIRS technology. His brain illuminates with excitement.

For our users of @Prolific just be aware there have been reports of strong gender bias in recruitment recently, rumoured to be caused by a flood of female tik-tok watchers. If gender balance matters to your study then see below (and the logic applies more widely)
