Brain activity (fNIRS) was recorded following a clinically-required heel lance procedure or innocuous mechanical stimulation of the limbs (heel and hand) at the bedside in the neonatal unit at University College London Hospitals.
Files are in .nirs format for use with Homer2 open access software.
Note: Accidental triggers during recording have been removed. To revert file to original state in Homer2 would reintroduce these triggers as well as remove trigger labels.
Triggers currently 'excluded' (dashed lines) during heel or hand touches, denote those during which movement of the baby was observed.
