This review evaluates the potential of optogenetic methods for the stimulation of the auditory
nerve and assesses the feasability of optogenetic cochlear implants (CIs). It provides an …

Significance: Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is frequently used to assess oxygen
saturation and hemoglobin concentration in living tissue. Methods solving the inverse …

We applied hyperspectral imaging to measure spatially-resolved diffuse reflectance spectra
in the visible range and an iterative inversion method based on forward Monte Carlo …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with a fiber optic probe is a powerful tool for quantitative
tissue characterization and disease diagnosis. Significant systematic errors can arise in the …

The ability to accurately measure layered biological tissue optical properties (OPs) may
improve understanding of spectroscopic device performance and facilitate early cancer …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has been applied to detect tissue absorption and scattering
properties associated with dysplasia, which is a potential precursor of epithelial cancers …

Commercial photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors rely on the measurement of continuous-
wave diffuse reflection signals (CW-DRS) to monitor heart rate. Using Monte Carlo modeling …

We present a new variant of a noncontact, oblique incidence spatially resolved reflectance
setup. The continuously variable source detector separation enables adaptation to high and …

Cancers of the oral and anogenital regions are a growing global health problem that
disproportionately impact women and men living in developing countries. The high death …

Improvements in measurement of epithelial tissue optical properties (OPs) in the ultraviolet
and visible (UV–Vis) may lead to enhanced understanding of optical techniques for …
