Gait impairments are among the most common and disabling symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. Nonetheless, gait is not routinely assessed quantitatively but is described in …

The past few decades have seen a rapid increase in the use of functional near‐infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS) in cognitive neuroscience. This fast growth is due to the several …

The development of novel miniaturized wireless and wearable functional near‐infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS) devices has paved the way for new functional brain imaging that could …

Safe locomotion is a crucial aspect of human daily living that requires well-functioning motor
control processes. The human neuromotor control of daily activities such as walking relies …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly used in the field
of posture and gait to investigate patterns of cortical brain activation while people move …

Background Deficits in cognitive domains, in particular, those related to the prefrontal cortex,
contribute to diminished walking performance in complex conditions in older age. Studies …

Even though research in the field of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been
performed for more than 20 years, consensus on signal processing methods is still lacking …

As the field of educational neuroscience continues to grow, questions have emerged
regarding the ecological validity and applicability of this research to educational practice …

An emerging body of literature has examined cortical activity during walking and balance
tasks in older adults and in people with Parkinson's disease, specifically using functional …

Background Control of walking by the central nervous system includes contributions from
executive control mechanisms, such as attention and motor planning resources. Executive …
