It’s often said that dark hair is bad for NIRS experiment because it absorbs more light. I heard this on day one when I started using NIRS back in 2008. I never got a chance to do a systematic experiment to compare hair colors and their effect
When you shop a new NIRS device, you want to compare all the different options in the market. One of the questions you may ask is: has anybody else been using the same device and how many? To this end, we compiled the number of publications citing so
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
In concurrent NIRS-MRI experiments, you often need to know exactly where the NIRS probes are in the MRI iamges. In this case, a fiducial marker becomes important. In our 2011 publication titled “A quantitative comparison of NIRS and fMRI across

Back in 2009 we published a paper titled “Functional near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signal improvement based on negative correlation between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin dynamics“. In a nutshell, we found the oxy- and deoxy-H
