NEAR INFRARED IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY FOR BRAIN ACTIVITY MONITORING

摘要: The first demonstration that near infrared (NIR) light can be used to monitor the state of cortical tissues noninvasively through skull was presented by Jobsis in 1977 [53]. About a decade later, researchers started looking at potential use NIR spectroscopy for functional brain activity monitoring. Early studies began with simple motor and sensory tasks demonstrating feasibility technology assessing cerebral localized area. More recent have attempted more complex cognitive such as warfare management [48] aircraft landing simulations [102]. In this chapter, research surrounding application imaging noninvasive monitoring is reviewed. A comprehensive review equipment technologies, mathematical models, past given some emphasis on techology’s security defense applications.
