Mocarts: a lightweight radiation transport simulator for easy handling of complex sensing geometries [PDF]
, 2016 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]
, 2016 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
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016 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

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS): Principles and Neuroscientific Applications
, 2012 fNIRS is a device designed to detect changes in the concentration of oxygenated (oxyHb) and deoxygenated (deoxyHb) haemoglobin molecules in the blood, a method commonly used to assess cerebral activity. Over the last decade, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has widely extended its applications due to its capacity to quantify oxygenation in

How Stress Affects Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Measurements of Mental Workload [PDF]
Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2018 Recent work has demonstrated that functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy has the potential to measure changes in Mental Workload with increasing ecological validity. It is not clear, however, whether these measurements are affected by anxiety and stress of the workload, where our informal observations see some participants enjoying the workload and ...
