Abstract

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been demonstrated to be an effective modality for the monitoring of brain function (Jobsis, 1977). fNIRS is capable of monitoring localized oxygenation changes for brain functions under healthy and clinical conditions, its physical basis relies on the light being absorbed or scattered within the tissue, then the change in detected optical density/light intensity can be measured by fNIRS device.
