Report Overview:

Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a device designed to detect changes in the concentration of oxygenated (oxyHb) and deoxygenated (deoxyHb) haemoglobin molecules in the blood, a method commonly used to assess cerebral activity. fNIRS is a type of functional neuroimaging technology that offers a relatively non-invasive, safe, portable, and low-cost method of indirect and direct monitoring of brain activity.

The fNIRS (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) Brain Imaging System is a non-invasive technology used to measure brain activity by monitoring blood flow and oxygenation levels in the brain’s cortex. It provides insights into how different areas of the brain are activated in response to specific stimuli or tasks. 

Key Features:

1. Non-Invasive: fNIRS uses near-infrared light to penetrate the skull and detect changes in blood oxygenation without the need for any surgical procedures.

2. Measurement Principle:

   • The system works based on the absorption properties of hemoglobin. Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR) absorb light at different wavelengths.
   • The system emits near-infrared light into the scalp and measures the amount of light that is reflected back, providing data about blood oxygen levels in the brain's outer layer (cortex).

3. Real-Time Monitoring: It can provide real-time data, making it useful for continuous brain monitoring during cognitive tasks or therapeutic interventions.

4. Portability: Unlike some imaging technologies like MRI, fNIRS systems are compact and can be used in more natural, non-clinical settings, making them ideal for behavioral and cognitive research in labs, schools, or clinics.

Applications:

1. Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience:

   • Used for understanding brain functions related to attention, memory, language, and decision-making processes.
   • Helps in studying brain activity in children, adults, and even infants, as it is a child-friendly technology.

2. Clinical Use:

   • Monitoring brain oxygenation in stroke patients or those with traumatic brain injuries.
   • Helps in detecting neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, autism spectrum disorder, and epilepsy.
   • Used in rehabilitation and neurofeedback therapy.

3. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs):

   • fNIRS is integrated with BCIs to control devices based on brain activity, useful in assistive technologies for people with physical disabilities.

4. Psychology and Behavior Research:

   • Used to observe how emotional and social interactions affect brain activity.
   • Can monitor brain responses during tasks that mimic real-world situations, making it useful for applied behavioral studies.

Advantages:

• Cost-Effective: fNIRS is cheaper than other imaging systems like fMRI.
• Safe: No exposure to radiation or strong magnetic fields, making it safer for frequent use.
• Flexibility: Can be used while subjects are standing, walking, or engaging in other activities, offering more naturalistic study environments.

Limitations:

1. Limited Depth: fNIRS primarily measures the surface of the brain (the cortex) and does not penetrate deeper brain regions like MRI or PET.
2. Spatial Resolution: While fNIRS offers good temporal resolution, its spatial resolution is less detailed compared to fMRI.
3. Interference from Hair or Skin: Thick hair or darker skin pigmentation can sometimes interfere with the absorption and reflection of near-infrared light, potentially affecting the signal quality.

Technology Components:

• Optodes (Emitters and Detectors): Devices placed on the scalp that emit and detect near-infrared light.
• Software: Processes the data to create visual maps of brain activation.
• Wearable Caps: Used to position the optodes accurately on the scalp for comfortable and repeatable measurements.

Advancements:

• Modern fNIRS systems are being integrated with EEG (Electroencephalography) to combine electrical brain activity data with blood flow information, enhancing the understanding of neural processes.
