Research Methodology

Description

Among many neuroimaging tools, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a rising star. It uses infrared light to peer into the brain, unlocking secrets of our cognitive processes, emotions and behaviors. There has been an exponential increase in the use of fNIRS in neuroscience during the past decades.

This presentation introduces this non-invasive, cutting-edge neuroimaging technology and outlines how it can revolutionize our understanding of the brain.
