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 …

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 …

In general, it is well recognized that both acute physical exercises and regular physical

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive optical imaging technique
that indirectly assesses neuronal activity by measuring changes in oxygenated and …

FNIRS pre-processing and processing methodologies are very important—how a researcher
chooses to process their data can change the outcome of an experiment. The purpose of this …

Age-related deterioration of balance control is widely regarded as an important
phenomenon influencing quality of life and longevity, such that a more comprehensive …

In the literature, it is well established that regular physical exercise is a powerful strategy to
promote brain health and to improve cognitive performance. However, exact knowledge …

Low back pain (LBP) coincides with sensorimotor impairments, for example, reduced
lumbosacral tactile and proprioceptive acuity and postural control deficits. Recent functional …
