Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a global psychiatric disorder with no
established biomarker. There is growing evidence that functional near-infrared spectroscopy …

This review is aimed at celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of the birth of human
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). After the discovery in 1992 that the functional …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging tool for studying evoked
hemodynamic changes within the brain. By this technique, changes in the optical absorption …

This article reviews diffuse optical brain imaging, a technique that employs near-infrared
light to non-invasively probe the brain for changes in parameters relating to brain function …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse optical imaging (DOI) are finding widespread
application in the study of human brain activation, motivating further application-specific …

Two decades ago, the introduction of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) into the
field of neuroscience created new opportunities for investigating neural processes within the …

Brain activity during a verbal fluency task (VFT) has been the target of many functional
imaging studies. Most studies using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have reported major …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging functional neuroimaging
technology offering a relatively non-invasive, safe, portable, and low-cost method of indirect …

BACKGROUND: Recent developments in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have enabled
the noninvasive clarification of brain functions in psychiatric disorders with measurement of …

While the role of creatine in preventing muscle (peripheral) fatigue for high performance
athletes is well understood, its biochemical role in prevention of mental (central) fatigue is …
