TL;DR: It is found that skin blood volume strongly depends on the cognitive state and that sources of task-evoked systemic signals in fNIRS are co-localized with veins draining the scalp, and it is concluded that the physiological origin of the systemic artefact is a task- Evoked sympathetic arterial vasoconstriction followed by a decrease in venous volume.

TL;DR: Multidistance time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the head of a healthy adult after intravenous administration of a bolus of indocyanine green is reported on.

TL;DR: A theoretical approach is presented to determine absorption changes in different compartments of a layered structure from distributions of times of flight of photons, and a single-distance, time-domain method is applied to in vivo measurements on the human head.

TL;DR: Effective tumor optical properties derived from a homogeneous model were used to deduce physiological information and all tumors exhibited increased total hemoglobin concentration and decreased or unchanged blood oxygen saturation compared with surrounding healthy tissue.

TL;DR: A comprehensive protocol for the performance assessment of photon migration instruments based on five criteria: accuracy, linearity, noise, stability, and reproducibility is proposed.
