 This tutorial covers how to convert functional near-infrared spectroscopy
 (fNIRS) data from raw measurements to relative oxyhaemoglobin (HbO) and
-deoxyhaemoglobin (HbR) concentration.
+deoxyhaemoglobin (HbR) concentration, view the average waveform, and
+topographic representation of the response.
 
 Here we will work with the :ref:`fNIRS motor data <fnirs-motor-dataset>`.
