Using both experimental and theoretical methods, we examine the contribution of different
parts of the head to near-IR (NIR) signal. Time-resolved spectroscopy is employed to …

Fast optical signals can be used to study the time course of neuronal activity in localized
cortical areas. The first report of such signals [Gratton, G., Corballis, PM, Cho, E., Fabiani, M …

In study of the brain, oxygenation changes in the cerebral cortex are of great interest, since
the concentrations of oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin change due to coupling of …

The letter-fluency task-induced response over the prefrontal cortex is investigated bilaterally
on eight subjects using a recently developed compact, eight-channel, time-resolved, near-IR …

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

The sensitivity of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to evoked brain activity is reduced by
physiological interference in at least two locations: 1. the superficial scalp and skull layers …

Physics in Medicine & Biology An investigation of light transport through scattering bodies with …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to monitor human visual cortical function
during and after photic stimulation (PS) in five adult volunteers. Cerebral blood volume …

Abstract Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows the recovery of the evoked
hemodynamic response to brain activation. In adult human populations, the NIRS signal is …

Optical imaging of the functional architecture of cortex, based on intrinsic signals, is a useful
tool for the study of the development, organization, and function of the living mammalian …
