Journal ArticleDOI
HomER: a review of time-series analysis methods for near-infrared spectroscopy of the brain.
TL;DR: The practical implementation of various signal processing techniques for removing physiological, instrumental, and motion-artifact noise from optical data are described within the context of the MATLAB-based graphical user interface program, HomER, which is developed and distributed to facilitate the processing of optical functional brain data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic brain activity triggers trigeminal meningeal afferents in a migraine model
TL;DR: This work establishes a link between migraine aura and headache by demonstrating that cortical spreading depression activates trigeminovascular afferents and evokes a series of cortical meningeal and brainstem events consistent with the development of headache.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative comparison of simultaneous BOLD fMRI and NIRS recordings during functional brain activation.
TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude correspondences between NIRS and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data have been investigated and strong correlations were found between fMRI changes and all optical measures, with oxyhemoglobin providing the strongest correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser speckle contrast imaging in biomedical optics
David A. Boas,Andrew K. Dunn +1 more
TL;DR: The underlying physics of speckle contrast imaging is reviewed, recent developments to improve the quantitative accuracy of blood flow measures are discussed and applications in neuroscience, dermatology and ophthalmology are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-invasive neuroimaging using near-infrared light
TL;DR: It is found that, while diffuse optics can provide substantial advantages to the psychiatric researcher relative to the alternative brain imaging methods, the method remains substantially underutilized in this field.
