Introduction Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive technique for measuring cortical brain neuroexcitation. Objective The objective of this study was to determine if fNIRS could detect differences in prefrontal cortex (PFC) …

Abstract Much of a child’s early learning takes place during social interactions with others. Neural synchrony, the temporal alignment of individuals’ functional brain activity, is a neural mechanism that may support successful interaction, but its …

With the increasing attention paid to user-oriented design and services, the term co-design, a form of user-participatory design, is increasingly mentioned. Previous studies have shown that co-design could better satisfy user needs in process and …

High-tone pelvic floor dysfunction (HTPFD) is a neuromuscular disorder of the pelvic floor characterized by non-relaxing pelvic floor muscles, resulting in voiding and defecatory symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain. A challenge in the …

A fundamental characteristic of the human brain that supports behavior is its capacity to create connections between brain regions. A promising approach holds that during social behavior, brain regions not only create connections with other brain …

Parkinson’s disease (PD) leads to impairments in cortical structures, resulting in motor and cognitive symptoms. Given the connection between brain structure deficits and physical symptoms in PD, assessing objective brain activity and body motion …

The digital age has accelerated collaborative innovation among interdisciplinary groups, and the collaborative behavior between individuals from different disciplinary backgrounds has gradually become normalized.Previous studies have suggested that …

The act of performing music may induce a specific state of mind, musicians potentially becoming immersed and detached from the rest of the world. May this be measured? Does this state of mind change based on repetition? In collaboration with …

Objective measurements of pain and safe methods to alleviate it could revolutionize medicine. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and virtual reality (VR) to improve pain assessment and explore non-pharmacological pain …

Inter-brain coupling has been increasingly recognized for its role in supporting connectedness during social communication. Here we investigate whether inter-brain coupling is plastic and persists beyond the offset of social interaction, facilitating …

Humans tend to align their behaviors and beliefs with their group peers. Establishing alignment between group members is crucial for group unity, yet the mechanisms underlying its emergence are under-explored. Here we examined the extent to which the …

Classroom teaching is essential for cognitive development and cultural evolution, yet its neurocognitive mechanisms remain unclear. Here, this is explored in a university graduate course by combining wearable functional near‐infrared spectroscopy …

Background Dynamic postural control is impaired in older adults, as evidenced from worse dynamic postural stability compared to young adults during upright stance while concurrent goal-directed tasks. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to play an …

Objective: Previous studies suggest that the combination of robot-assisted training with other concurrent tasks may promote the functional recovery and improvement better than the single task. It is well-established that robot-assisted rehabilitation …

Research investigating aging and neurological disorders that affect gait and balance aims to increase the understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms involved in task performance. Traditional brain-imaging techniques are restricted in their use …

Functional near-infrared imaging is a brain imaging technology that measures changes in cerebral blood oxygenation. Due to its high portability and spatial resolution, fNIRS is widely employed in emotion cognition. However, current feature extraction …

Objective. There is a growing consensus that interpersonal processes are key to understanding psychotherapy. How might that be reflected in the brain? Recent research proposes that inter-brain synchrony is a crucial neural component of interpersonal …

Purpose: This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate the effects of gymnastics programs with high versus low cognitive load on children's visuospatial working memory (VSWM) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation. …

A child’s social world is complex and rich, but has traditionally been assessed with conventional experiments where children are presented with repeated stimuli on a screen. These assessments are impoverished relative to the dynamics of social …
