Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rates (CMRO2) have been
used as indices for changes in neuronal activity. Near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can …

Our understanding of human brain function can clearly benefit from neurophysiological
techniques capable of providing dynamic maps of activity. A series of studies is reviewed …

Although near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was developed as a tool for clinical monitoring
of tissue oxygenation, it also has potential for neuroimaging. A wide range of different NIRS …

Brain activity is associated with changes in optical properties of brain tissue. Optical
measurements during brain activation can assess haemoglobin oxygenation, cytochrome-c …

In this chapter, we review the use of noninvasive optical imaging methods in studying
human brain function, with a view toward their possible applications to neuroergonomics …

The aim of this review is to present the state of the art of neurophotonics, a recently founded
discipline lying at the interface between optics and neuroscience. While neurophotonics …

Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive optical technique, can measure changes
in hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in brain tissue. Jöbsis first described the in vivo …

1. Introduction fNIRS is a device designed to detect changes in the concentration of
oxygenated (oxyHb) and deoxygenated (deoxyHb) haemoglobin molecules in the blood, a …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which was originally designed for clinical monitoring of
tissue oxygenation, has been developing into a useful tool for neuroimaging studies …

We have developed a near‐infrared spectroscopy system for low‐resolution regional
imaging of the brain. Our regional imager employs two intensity‐modulated (frequency …
