In functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) superficial hemodynamics can mask optical
signals related to brain activity. We present a method to separate superficial and cerebral …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used to measure cerebral oxygenation and
hemodynamics caused by brain activation. Blood volume and oxygenation are indicated by …

Comparison of the spatial and temporal information retrieved from near-infrared phase and
average intensity (DC) data reveals that these data types can play a complementary role in …

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a powerful method for non-invasive mapping of
cerebral functional activation. We have developed an NIRS instrument that is portable …

A general physiological model for the hemodynamic response during altered blood flow,
oxygenation, and metabolism is presented. Calculations of oxy-, deoxy-, and total …

The purpose of the this article is to describe an emerging neuroimaging technology,
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs), which has several attributes that make it …

Optical topography (OT) relies on the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique to
provide noninvasively a spatial map of functional brain activity. OT has advantages over …

Optical imaging techniques have the potential to bring a combination of high spatial and
temporal resolution to studies of brain function. Many optical techniques require the addition …

Near-infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive neuroimaging method which uses light to
measure changes in cerebral blood oxygenation associated with brain activity. In this work …

Adult near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a potential method for noninvasively assessing
changes in cerebral oxygenation. Unlike neonatal NIRS, access of light to the adult brain …
