Noise removal in NIRS

Noise removal methods in NIRS can be divided into 4 categories: reducing noise based on its temporal characteristics: The instrument noise is usually in the high frequency band and thus can be removed by band pass filtering. Band pass filtering can a

6 experiments you should do with NIRS (vs fMRI)

Let’s be frank. Compared to fMRI, NIRS has a number of intrinsic weaknesses. The signal to noise ratio is lower, the spatial resolution is (10x) lower, it can’t measure the deep brain, and it only covers a portio

3 ways to check NIRS data quality

Before performing any data analysis, we should check the data quality first. Below are 3 ways to do so. 1. Visual check of the time series The best pattern detector is our eyes and brains! In many cases, if we visually see the data, we know what is w

Comparison between NIRS and fMRI

I have a friend who has been using fMRI for more than 10 years and now a professor. He heard NIRS might be a good technology to measure human brain but knew little about it. So what is the difference between NIRS and fMRI? This is probably a common q
