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 …

▪ Abstract The interaction of light within tissue has been used to recognize disease since the
mid-1800s. The recent developments of small light sources, detectors, and fiber optic probes …

Investigations of the neuro-physiological correlates of mental loads, or states, have attracted
significant attention recently, as it is particularly important to evaluate mental fatigue in …

A major methodological challenge of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is its
high sensitivity to haemodynamic fluctuations in the scalp. Superficial fluctuations contribute …

Human eye-to-eye contact is a primary source of social cues and communication. In spite of

In near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of tissue, light attenuation is due to:(i) absorption from
chromophores of fixed concentration,(ii) absorption from chromophores of variable …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has potential as a noninvasive brain monitor across a
spectrum of disorders. In the last decade, there has been a rapid expansion of clinical …

Brain activity during a verbal fluency task (VFT) has been the target of many functional
imaging studies. Most studies using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have reported major …
