Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive method to measure brain
activities using the changes of optical absorption in the brain through the intact skull. fNIRS …

The application of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in the neurosciences has
been expanding over the last 40 years. Today, it is addressing a wide range of applications …

This review presents a practical primer for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) with
respect to technology, experimentation, and analysis software. Its purpose is to jump-start …

Background Previous studies suggest that the human gait is under control of higher-order
cognitive processes, located in the frontal lobes, such that an age-related degradation of …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging typically measures signal increases arising from
changes in the transverse relaxation rate over small regions of the brain and associates …

Abstract Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows the recovery of the evoked
hemodynamic response to brain activation. In adult human populations, the NIRS signal is …

Subcortical vascular dementia (SVD) is a form of vascular dementia from small vessel
disease with white matter lesions and lacunes. We hypothesized that hemodynamic and …

Touch plays a crucial role in social–emotional development. Slow, gentle touch applied to
hairy skin is processed by C-tactile (CT) nerve fibers. Furthermore,'social brain'regions, such …

Introduction Robot-assisted rehabilitation has been increasingly drawing attention in the
field of neurorehabilitation. The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is an exoskeleton robot …

To reveal the physiological mechanism of the cognitive decline in subjects with
hypertension, the functional connectivity (FC) was assessed by using the wavelet phase …
