Neurovascular coupling reflects the close temporal and regional linkage between neural
activity and cerebral blood flow. Although providing mechanistic insight, our understanding …

This review is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of time domain (TD) functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We first introduce the physical principles, the basics of …

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging tool for non-invasively
monitoring the haemodynamic response to brain activation. The technique has been widely …

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an invaluable tool to study the dynamics and
connectivity of large-scale brain activity and their interactions with the body and the …

Brain aging is characterized by changes in both hemodynamic and neuronal responses,
which may be influenced by the cardiorespiratory fitness of the individual. To investigate the …

Multimodal neuroimaging plays an important role in neuroscience research. Integrated
noninvasive neuroimaging modalities, such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) …

Converging electrophysiological and neuroimaging data show that mammalian brain
dynamics are governed by spontaneous modulations of neuronal activity levels in cortical …

To date, the majority of neurovascular coupling studies focused on the thalamic afferents'
activity in layer IV and the corresponding large spiking activity as responsible for functional …

Hand motor tasks are frequently used to assess impaired motor function in neurology and
neurorehabilitation. Assessments can be varied by means of hand laterality, ie unimanual or …

Time-domain measurements facilitate the elimination of the influence of extracerebral,
systemic effects, a key problem in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) of the adult …
