Two decades ago, the introduction of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) into the
field of neuroscience created new opportunities for investigating neural processes within the …

Reduced haemodynamic response in the frontotemporal cortices of patients with major
depressive disorder (MDD) has been demonstrated using functional near-infrared …

Background Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) provides a direct and quantitative
assessment of cortical haemodynamic function during a cognitive task. This functional …

Brain activity during a verbal fluency task (VFT) has been the target of many functional
