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 …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has potential as a noninvasive brain monitor across a
spectrum of disorders. In the last decade, there has been a rapid expansion of clinical …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral autoregulation (CA) are critically important to
maintain proper brain perfusion and supply the brain with the necessary oxygen and energy …

This review celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first in vivo near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy (NIRS) publication, which was authored by Professor Frans Jöbsis. At first …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become a relevant research tool in neuroscience. In
special populations such as infants and for special tasks such as walking, NIRS has …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a relatively new imaging modality in the
functional neuroimaging research arena. The fNIRS modality non-invasively investigates the …

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a critical process for the maintenance of cerebral blood flow
and oxygenation. Assessment of CA is frequently used for experimental research and in the …

Background and Purpose—Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a recognized contributor to
unfavorable outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recent data challenge the …

Background Control of walking by the central nervous system includes contributions from
executive control mechanisms, such as attention and motor planning resources. Executive …

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a form of stroke that is associated with substantial
morbidity, often as a result of cerebral ischaemia that occurs in the following days. These …
