Twenty years of functional near-infrared spectroscopy: introduction for the special issue

David A Boas et al. Neuroimage. .

Abstract

Papers from four different groups were published in 1993 demonstrating the ability of functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to non-invasively measure hemoglobin concentration responses to brain function in humans. This special issue commemorates the first 20years of fNIRS research. The 9 reviews and 49 contributed papers provide a comprehensive survey of the exciting advances driving the field forward and of the myriad of applications that will benefit from fNIRS.

Keywords: Brain function; Brain imaging; Cognitive neuroscience; Functional near-infrared spectroscopy; Hemoglobin; Neuro-development; Neuroscience; Neurovascular coupling; Optical imaging; fNIRS.
