Measurements of dynamic near-infrared (NIR) light attenuation across the human head together with model-based image reconstruction algorithms allow recovery three-dimensional spatial brain activation maps. Previous studies using high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) systems have reported improved quality over sparse arrays. These HD-DOT incorporated multidistance overlapping continuous wave measurements that only recover differential intensity attenuation. We investigate potential improvement in reconstructed due to additional incorporation phase shift measurements, which reflect time-of-flight measured NIR light, within tomographic from measurements. To evaluate and without information, we simulated point spread functions a whole-scalp field view 24 subject-specific anatomical models an experimentally derived noise model.

Approximately one in five children worldwide suffers from childhood malnutrition and its complications, including increased susceptibility to inflammation infectious diseases. Due improved early interventions, most of these now survive malnutrition, even low-resource settings (LRS). However, many continue exhibit neurodevelopmental deficits, low IQ, poor school performance, behavioral problems over their lifetimes. Most studies have relied on neuropsychological tests, mental health measures. Few studies, contrast, assessed brain structure function, date, mainly low-cost techniques, electroencephalography (EEG) evoked potentials (ERP). The use more advanced methods neuroimaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), has been limited by cost factors lack availability technologies developing countries, where is nearly ubiquitous.

As the field of educational neuroscience continues to grow, questions have emerged regarding ecological validity and applicability this research practice. Recent advances in mobile neuroimaging technologies made it possible conduct neuroscientific studies directly naturalistic learning environments. We propose that embedding a cycle (Matusz, Dikker, Huth, & Perrodin, 2019), involving lab-based, seminaturalistic, fully experiments, is well suited for addressing questions. With review, we take cautious approach, by discussing valuable insights can be gained from technology, including electroencephalography functional near-infrared spectroscopy, as challenges posed bringing methods into classroom. Research paradigms used alongside technology vary considerably. To illustrate point, are discussed with increasingly designs. conclude several ethical considerations should taken account unique area research.

In this Outlook paper, we explain why an accurate physiological interpretation of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging signals is facilitated when systemic activity (e.g., cardiorespiratory and autonomic activity) measured simultaneously by employing physiology augmented (SPA-fNIRS). The rationale for SPA-fNIRS twofold: (i) enables a more complete understanding the fNIRS at head since they contain components originating from neurovascular coupling sources. with can be used regressing out confounding in signals. Misinterpretations thus minimized. (ii) to study embodied brain linking state entire body, allowing novel insights into their complex interplay.
