Are you thinking of planning a trip to Europe? Have you never been before? Do you want to learn more about traveling abroad? I recently took my first trip to Europe and had an amazing experience. Along the way, I encountered a few surprises and thought I would share my thoughts so others can be better prepared, or at least get a laugh at my naive American tourist perspective. This was my first trip to Europe, and many aspects of the experience differed from what I expected or was accustomed to.

Before hitting post on Instagram, do you think about how accessible your post is? Did you include closed captions, descriptive alternative text for photos or use dyslexia-friendly fonts? If not, then it’s time to consider how to make your posts more inclusive. Imagine if someone who is deaf or hard of hearing comes across your TikTok. Without captions, they have no way to follow along. Or think about someone who is visually impaired.

Abstract Significance: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) enables neuroimaging in scenarios where other modalities are less suitable, such as during motion tasks or in low-resource environments. Sparse fNIRS arrays with 30mm channel spacing are widely used but have limited spatial resolution. High-density (HD) arrays with overlapping, multi-distance channels improve sensitivity and localization but increase costs and setup times.
