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 …

This year marks the 20th anniversary of functional near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging
(fNIRS/fNIRI). As the vast majority of commercial instruments developed until now are based …

This review is aimed at celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of the birth of human
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). After the discovery in 1992 that the functional …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) uses the temporal fluctuations of near-infrared (NIR)
light to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) non-invasively. Here, we provide a brief history of …

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

Continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy and near-infrared imaging enable the
measurement of relative concentration changes in oxy-and deoxyhemoglobin and thus …

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 …

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