The primary goal of this thesis was to create a low-cost Arduino-based fNIRS system and its use in a variety of clinical settings. While this system was used for several clinical applications, in this ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be performed using a portable emitter and detector placed on the scalp near a region of interest in the brain. By emitting and sensing light at ...

Researchers have developed a new method that greatly improves the accuracy of brain-state classification with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The brain-imaging technique fNIRS allows ...

Multimodal applications combining electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) are widely used in cognitive neuroscience and have progressively been applied to clinical ...

Psychiatry faces a core challenge: We treat disorders of the mind with limited windows into real-time brain function. Unlike cardiology’s continuous monitoring (ECG, ultrasound, nuclear imaging), ...

Virtual reality relaxation program can reduce pain intensity, with significant changes in brain functional connectivity patterns. (HealthDay News) — Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fINRS) can ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.
