This article reviews diffuse optical brain imaging, a technique that employs near-infrared
light to non-invasively probe the brain for changes in parameters relating to brain function …

Optical approaches to investigate cerebral function and metabolism have long been applied
in invasive studies. From the neuron cultured in vitro to the exposed cortex in the human …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to noninvasively monitor adult human
brain function in a wide variety of tasks. While rough spatial correspondences with maps …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is commonly used for studying human brain function.
However, several studies have shown that superficial hemodynamic changes such as skin …

The registration of functional brain data to the common brain space offers great advantages
for inter-modal data integration and sharing. However, this is difficult to achieve in functional …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used to noninvasively measure changes in the
concentrations of oxy-and deoxyhemoglobin in tissue. We have previously shown that while …

We describe a novel Monte Carlo code for photon migration through 3D media with spatially
varying optical properties. The code is validated against analytic solutions of the photon …

We investigated slow spontaneous oscillations in cerebral oxygenation in the human adult's
visual cortex. The rationale was (1) to demonstrate their detectability by near infrared …

Although near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was developed as a tool for clinical monitoring
of tissue oxygenation, it also has potential for neuroimaging. A wide range of different NIRS …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging functional neuroimaging
technology offering a relatively non-invasive, safe, portable, and low-cost method of indirect …
