Fig. 1. Human in vivo Broadband Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (bNIRS).
Broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (bNIRS) detects light attenuation in the optical spectrum of 650–900 nm to quantify regional concentration changes in oxy-hemoglobin (HbO), deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR), and mitochondrial complex IV cytochrome-c-oxidase oxidative states (oxCCO) of the vascular bed under optical sensors (optodes) during a particular task. The optodes are arranged over the brain regions of interest within the cap. Flexible fiber optic cables (not shown) transmit the signals to computers for data processing.
