We developed a wearable experimental sensor setup featuring multimodal EEG+fNIRS neuroimaging applicable for in situ experiments of human behavior in interaction with technology. A low-cost electroencephalography (EEG) was integrated with a wearable functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) system, which we present in two parts. Paper A provide an exhaustive description of setup infrastructure, data synchronization process, a procedure for usage, including sensor application, and ensuring high signal quality. This paper (Paper B) demonstrate the setup';s usability in three distinct use cases: a conventional human-computer interaction experiment, an in situ driving experiment where participants drive a car in the city and on the highway, and an ashtanga vinyasa yoga practice in situ. Data on cognitive load from highly ecologically valid experimental setups are presented, and we discuss lessons learned. These include acceptable and unacceptable artefacts, data quality, and constructs possible to investigate with the setup.
