For cognitive processes to function well, it is essential that the brain is optimally supplied
with oxygen and blood. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting that cerebral …

This year marks the 20th anniversary of functional near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging
(fNIRS/fNIRI). As the vast majority of commercial instruments developed until now are based …

Safe locomotion is a crucial aspect of human daily living that requires well-functioning motor
control processes. The human neuromotor control of daily activities such as walking relies …

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 …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an increasingly popular technology for studying brain
function. NIRS presents several advantages relative to functional magnetic resonance …

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 …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly used in the field
of posture and gait to investigate patterns of cortical brain activation while people move …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging tool for studying evoked
hemodynamic changes within the brain. By this technique, changes in the optical absorption …

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a versatile neuroimaging tool with an
increasing acceptance in the neuroimaging community. While often lauded for its portability …

Continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy and near-infrared imaging enable the
measurement of relative concentration changes in oxy-and deoxyhemoglobin and thus …
