This mini-review is aimed at briefly summarizing the present status of functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and predicting where the technique should go in the next …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical technique that can measure brain tissue
oxygenation and haemodynamics in real-time and at the patient bedside allowing medical …

This article reviews the past and current statuses of time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy
(TD-NIRS) and imaging. Although time-domain technology is not yet widely employed due to …

Background: Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a significant cause
of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Cerebral near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can …

We present a wearable time-domain near infrared spectroscopy (TD-NIRS) system (two
wavelengths, one detection channel), which fits in a backpack and performs real-time …

Over the last few decades, neuroimaging techniques have transformed our understanding of
the brain and the effect of neurological conditions on brain function. More recently, light …

Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen to tissues and remove carbon dioxide. Diffuse
optical flowmetry (DOF) assesses deep tissue RBC dynamics by measuring coherent …
