TL;DR: This review is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of time domain (TD) functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) by introducing the physical principles, the basics of modeling and data analysis, and the technological developments that would pave the way for a broader use of TD fNirS in the neuroimaging community.

TL;DR: The "Basic Instrumental Performance" protocol for direct measurement of relevant characteristics is presented and the relevance of the responsivity measure is demonstrated by simulations of diffuse reflectance as a function of source-detector separation and optical properties.

TL;DR: The nEUROPt protocol addresses the characteristic of optical brain imaging to detect, localize, and quantify absorption changes in the brain and could be a useful step toward performance tests for future standards in diffuse optical imaging.

TL;DR: A compact dual wavelength multi-channel medical device for muscle and brain imaging based on time domain functional near infrared spectroscopy that employs the wavelength space multiplexing approach to reduce wavelength cross-talk and increase signal-to-noise ratio.

TL;DR: A method for the discrimination of superficial and deep absorption variations by time domain functional near infrared spectroscopy is presented and makes use of an approach based on time-gating of the photon distribution of time-of-flights.
