THE EVOLUTION OF FIELD DEPLOYABLE fNIR SPECTROSCOPY FROM BENCH TO CLINICAL SETTINGS

摘要: In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dr. Britton Chance his colleagues, using picosecond-long laser pulses, spearheaded development of time-resolved spectroscopy techniques in an effort to obtain quantitative information about optical characteristics tissue. These efforts by colleagues expedited translation near-infrared (NIRS)-based into a neuroimaging modality for various cognitive studies. Beginning 2000s, guided steered collaboration with Optical Brain Imaging team at Drexel University toward application field deployable continuous wave functional (fNIR) system as means monitor functions, particularly during attention working memory tasks well complex such war games air traffic control scenarios performed healthy volunteers under operational conditions. Further, these collaborative led clinical applications, including traumatic brain injury, depth anesthesia monitoring, pediatric pain assessment, brain–computer interface neurology. this paper, we introduce how studies have made fNIR excellent candidate specified research repeated cortical neuroimaging, bedside or home elicitation positive effect, protocols requiring ecological validity. This paper represents token our gratitude influence leadership. Through manuscript show appreciation contributing commemoration through work will strive advance imaging promote legacy.
