A new set of techniques allows for the study of brain function by near‐infrared light,
exploiting two optical phenomena: Changes in light absorption are determined by changes …

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 …

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

These are exciting times for the field of optical imaging of brain function. Rapid
developments in theory and technology continue to considerably advance understanding of …

Great advancements in brain imaging during the last few decades have opened a large
number of new possibilities for neuroscientists. The most dominant methodologies …

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the use of optical methods to record in a
noninvasive fashion intrinsic signals related to neuronal activity (ie, fast signals). Fast …

We review our most recent results on near-IR studies of human brain activity, which have
been evolving in two directions: detection of neuronal signals and measurements of …
