Reactive hyperemia is a well-established technique for noninvasive assessment of
peripheral microvascular function and a predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular morbidity …

Neurocritical care depends, in part, on careful patient monitoring but as yet there are little
data on what processes are the most important to monitor, how these should be monitored …

Cerebral autoregulation is a homeostatic process that regulates and maintains cerebral
blood flow (CBF) constant across a range of blood pressures. The original concept was …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) uses the temporal fluctuations of near-infrared (NIR)
light to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) non-invasively. Here, we provide a brief history of …

This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical
applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive method to measure brain
activities using the changes of optical absorption in the brain through the intact skull. fNIRS …

Abstract Background/Objective For patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) and their
families, the search for new therapies has been a source of hope and frustration. Almost all …

Background. Evidence suggests that gait is influenced by higher order cognitive and cortical
control mechanisms. However, less is known about the functional correlates of cortical …

We develop and validate a Modified Beer-Lambert law for blood flow based on diffuse
correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements. The new formulation enables blood flow …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging optical modality used to measure
cortical cerebral blood flow. This outlook presents a brief overview of the technology …
