Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy

Sensor-level human brain activity is studied during real and imaginary motor execution using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Blood oxygenation and deoxygenation spatial dynamics exhibit pronounced hemispheric lateralization when performing motor tasks with the left and right hands. This fact allowed us to reveal biomarkers of hemodynamical response of the motor cortex on the motor execution, and use them for designing a sensing method for classification of the type of movement. The recognition accuracy of real movements is close to 100%, while the classification accuracy of imaginary movements is lower but quite high (at the level of 90%). The advantage of the proposed method is its ability to classify real and imaginary movements with sufficiently high efficiency without the need for recalculating parameters. The proposed system can serve as a sensor of motor activity to be used for neurorehabilitation after severe brain injuries, including traumas and strokes.

Cerebral Hemodynamic

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical imaging tool to study brain activities. Moreover, many researchers combined fNIRS with other modalities to gain a better understanding of the brain. This paper provides an overview of the combination of fNIRS with other imaging modalities in the detection and measurement of the cerebral hemodynamic. Cerebral haemodynamic such as the cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood oxygenation (CBO) are the important parameters in many neuroimaging studies. Cerebral hemodynamic had been studied by various medical imaging modalities.  Initially, Xenon enhanced Computed Tomography (Xenon CT), Computed Tomography (CT) perfusion; Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are used to measure the cerebral hemodynamic. Recently, fNIRS is used to optically observe the changes in cerebral haemodynamic during brain activities and the combination of fNIRS with other modalities also become an interest to study the relations within brain activities and the cerebral hemodynamic. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of existing multimodal fNIRS in detection of cerebral haemodynamic changes and provides an important insight on how multimodal fNIRS aid in advancing modern investigations of human brain function.       Keywords: multimodal imaging, fNIRS-fMRI, fNIRS-PET, fNIRS-EEG
