Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a well known experimental approach uniquely suited for
the characterization of small particles undergoing Brownian motion in randomly …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) uses the temporal fluctuations of near-infrared (NIR)
light to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) non-invasively. Here, we provide a brief history of …

Recent developments in the area of biological detection by optical sensing of molecular
oxygen (O2) are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the quenched-phosphorescence O2 …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that allows for
visualization of activated brain regions. Until recently, fMRI studies have focused on gray …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral oximetry is a noninvasive optical technology that measures frontal
cortex blood hemoglobin-oxygen saturation. Commercially available cerebral oximeters …

We introduce a new, non-invasive, diffuse optical technique, speckle contrast optical
spectroscopy (SCOS), for probing deep tissue blood flow using the statistical properties of …

Increased neuron and astrocyte activity triggers increased brain blood flow, but controversy
exists over whether stimulation-induced changes in astrocyte activity are rapid and …

The brain's high energy requirements and limited storage capacity make persistent cerebral
blood flow (CBF) critical for its proper functioning as well as for the prevention of damage …

High brightness, chemical and photostability, tunable characteristics, and spectral and
surface properties are important attributes for nanoparticle probes designed for live cell …

Neurophotonics was launched in 2014 coinciding with the launch of the BRAIN Initiative
focused on development of technologies for advancement of neuroscience. For the last …
