Near-infrared spectroscopy was first described in 1977 as a non-invasive technique to measure the cerebral oxygenation and cytochrome oxydase. Different techniques have been developed resulting in new instruments that make it possible to measure cerebral oxygenation in a non-invasive way. In this chapter the physiology and pathophysiology in relation to the measurement of cerebral oxygenation are explained and the direct possible clinical use enlightened, with special focus on measurement of ischemic cerebral hypoxia. The measurement of other organs like the liver, the bowel and the peripheral circulation are described. At the end, a short overview of future possible bed-side measurements like functional near-infrared spectroscopy, near-infrared imaging and photoacoustic measurements are given.

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a wearable optical spectroscopy system originally developed for continuous and non-invasive monitoring of brain function by measuring blood oxygen concentration. Recent advancements in brain–computer interfacing allow us to control the neuron function of the brain by combining it with fNIRS to regulate cognitive function. In this review manuscript, we provide information regarding current advancement in fNIRS and how it provides advantages in developing brain–computer interfacing to enable neuron function. We also briefly discuss about how we can use this technology for further applications.

Background. The cortical plastic changes in response to median nerve electrical stimulation (MNES) in stroke patients have not been entirely illustrated. Objective. This study aimed to investigate MNES-related changes in effective connectivity (EC) within a cortical network after stroke by using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Methods. The cerebral oxygenation signals in the bilateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC/RPFC), motor cortex (LMC/RMC), and occipital lobe (LOL/ROL) of 20 stroke patients with right hemiplegia were measured by fNIRS in 2 conditions: (1) resting state and (2) MNES applied to the right wrist. Coupling function together with dynamical Bayesian inference was used to assess MNES-related changes in EC among the cerebral low-frequency fluctuations. Results. Compared with the resting state, EC from LPFC and RPFC to LOL was significantly increased during the MNES state in stroke patients. Additionally, MNES triggered significantly higher coupling strengths from LMC and LOL to RPFC. The interregional main coupling direction was observed from LPFC to bilateral motor and occipital areas in responding to MNES, suggesting that MNES could promote the regulation function of ipsilesional prefrontal areas in the functional network. MNES can induce muscle twitch of the stroke-affected hand involving a decreased neural coupling of the contralesional motor area on the ipsilesional MC. Conclusions. MNES can trigger sensorimotor stimulations of the affected hand that sequentially involved functional reorganization of distant cortical areas after stroke. Investigating MNES-related changes in EC after stroke may help further our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying MNES.

Functional near infrared spectroscopy is a noninvasive, non harmful, low cost and safe optical technique that can be used to study the functional activities in the human brain. This paper describes the development of two channel Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) system and the results of the cerebral oxygenation changes during the different cognitive tasks. The objective of the study is to design, develop a portable non-invasive continuous wave NIRS system with dual wave length for determining the hemoglobin content of the blood chromophores during different activities of the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The two channel NIRS system designed and it was tested with 20 healthy, ie.,15 males and 5 females with an average age group of 21±2.25, they were given a 2 different mental tasks such as sequential subtraction (mathematical task) and spot the difference (Visuo-spatial task) and their Oxy & de-Oxy hemoglobin concentration was measured which showed more changes during the task period when compared to relaxation in both left and right part of pre-frontal cortex.

Abstract: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive optical brain monitoring technology for mapping the functioning of the human cortex in response to sensory or motor activation. There is a growing interest in implementing fNIRS to monitor the cognitive performance of military pilots. The method relies on differences in hemoglobin absorption spectra depending on blood oxygenation. However, this method was relatively rarely utilized in aviation and aviation medicine. Therefore, we will provide a broad review of applying this method in various avenues of medicine and cognitive psychology, as well as cover its documented use in aviation and aviation medicine. In this review, we cover the following topics: 1) fNIRS in comparison to most commonly used neuroimaging methods, 2) fNIRS in the evaluation of human performance, 3) fNIRS application in aviation and aviation medicine, and 4) fNIRS-based Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) to overcome cognitive restrictions and for optimizing pilot training. In conclusion, over the years, fNIRS has become a neuroimaging technique that contributes to making advances toward understanding the functioning of the human brain.
