NICA: A Novel Toolbox for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Calculations and Analyses
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures the functional activity of the cerebral cortex. The concentration changes of oxygenated (oxy-Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb) can be detected and associated with activation of the cortex in

Assessment of cerebrovascular dysfunction after traumatic brain injury with fMRI and fNIRS
Traumatic cerebral vascular injury (TCVI) is a frequent, but under-recognized, endophenotype of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It likely contributes to functional deficits after TBI and TBI-related chronic disability, and represents an attractive target ...

Mocarts: a lightweight radiation transport simulator for easy handling of complex sensing geometries [PDF]
In functional neuroimaging (fNIRS), elaborated sensing geometries pairing multiple light sources and detectors arranged over the tissue surface are needed. A variety of software tools for probing forward models of radiation transport in tissue exist, but

False positives and false negatives in functional near-infrared spectroscopy: issues, challenges, and the way forward [PDF]
We highlight a significant problem that needs to be considered and addressed when performing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) studies, namely the possibility of inadvertently measuring fNIRS hemodynamic responses that are not due to ...

fNIRS for future use in auditory diagnostics
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging technique for the assessment of functional activity of the cerebral cortex. Recently fNIRS was also envisaged as a novel neuroimaging approach for measuring the auditory cortex (AC) activity in
