Using a smartphone to measure head motion in a…

Is it possible to use a smartphone to measure head motion in a NIRS study? Is it reliable? After all, smartphones are so popular right now and everybody has it. It would make head motion measurement much more convenient than a traditional stand-alone

A trick to detect bad channel in NIRS data…

Some noise is easy to detect – simply plotting the time courses of NIRS signal, you will find the noise so out of range and you will discard the data. However, I find in some instances the noise level seems to be in the normal range but the dat

Advantage and Disadvantage of NIRS over fMRI

Advantages cheaper portable (smaller) safe natural settings (e.g. real human interactions instead of computer presentation) high temporal resolution (10Hz) less sensitive to head motion clinically friendly less environment noise long time recording c

Who cited my paper?

Back in 2010 we published a paper titled “Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) signal improvement based on negative correlation between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin dynamics“. It is about a really simple method which sur

Is measuring both oxy and deoxy-Hb useful?

One of the advantages of NIRS is that it measure two values at a time – both oxy- and deoxy-Hb concentration, while fMRI measure only one value, called BOLD. (See a comparison between NIRS and fMRI.) However, what is the use of measuring two va

Hyperscanning with Near Infrared Spectroscopy

This is a manuscript Chao and myself prepared for a “commentary”. We think NIRS based hyperscanning has a great potential on the shift from one-person neuroscience to 2-people neuroscience. —- Toward an Ecologically Valid Second-per
