Upon stimulation, real time maps of cortical hemodynamic responses can be obtained by
non-invasive functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) which measures changes in …

Optical methods have been used to measure physiological variables for decades, as is
apparent from other chapters in this book. However, the use of diffuse optical light for …

People with schizophrenia may be at increased risk for Type II diabetes because of the side
effects of antipsychotic medication, poorer overall physical health, less healthy lifestyles, and …

BACKGROUND: Recent developments in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have enabled
the noninvasive clarification of brain functions in psychiatric disorders with measurement of …

Changes in optical properties of biological tissue can be examined by near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS). The relative transparency of tissues including the skull to near-infrared …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical method which allows non-invasive in vivo
measurements of concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) and …

The study aimed to step into two-person (teacher–student) educational neuroscience. We
describe a physiological marker of cortical hemodynamic correlates involved in teacher …

The aim was to investigate the effect of different speech tasks, ie recitation of prose (PR),
alliteration (AR) and hexameter (HR) verses and a control task (mental arithmetic (MA) with …

Over the past years functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has substantially
contributed to the understanding of language and its neural correlates. In contrast to other …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new non-invasive optical technique suitable to
assess the concentration changes of oxygenated (O 2 HB) and deoxygenated (HHB) …
