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 …

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 …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a promising technology for functional brain imaging
which measures hemodynamic signals from the cortex, similar to functional magnetic …

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 prefrontal cortex plays an essential role in various cognitive functions, such as planning
and reasoning, yet little is known about how such neural mechanisms develop during …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the retest reliability of event-related
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Therefore, isolated functional activation was …

Recently, real time imaging of the cortical control of gait became possible with functional
near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). So far, little is known about the activations of various …

There is growing interest for implementing tools to monitor cognitive performance in
naturalistic work and everyday life settings. The emerging field of research, known as …

Working memory is a key executive function for flying an aircraft. This function is particularly
critical when pilots have to recall series of air traffic control instructions. However, working …

To quantify the effect of absorption changes in the deep tissue (cerebral) and shallow tissue
(scalp, skin) layers on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals, a method using …
