Altered functional connectivity subserving expressed emotion environments in schizophrenia: An fNIRS study

Living in high-expressed emotion (EE) environments, characterized by critical, hostile, or over-involved family attitudes, has been linked to increased relapse rates among individuals with schizophrenia (SZ). In our previous work (Wang et al., 2023), …

The physiologic complexity of prefrontal oxygenation dynamics is associated with age and executive function: an exploratory study

Background: The hemodynamics of prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation are regulated by numerous processes operating over multiple temporal scales, producing complex patterns in its output fluctuations. Age may alter this multiscale regulation of PFC …

Ecological fNIRS in mobile children: Using short separation channels to correct for systemic contamination during naturalistic neuroimaging

Significance: The advances and the miniaturization in functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) instrumentation offers the potential to move the classical laboratory-based cognitive neuroscience investigations into more naturalistic settings. …

Exploring motor cortex functional connectivity in Parkinson's disease using fNIRS

This work proposes using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a non-invasive alternative to study the motor cortex's functional connectivity in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The bilateral motor regions were covered with the fNIRS probe, and …

Integrating fNIRS and machine learning: shedding light on Parkinson's disease detection

The purpose of this research is to introduce an approach to assist the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by classifying functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) studies as PD positive or negative. fNIRS is a non-invasive optical signal …

Interfering Implicit Attitudes of Adopting Recycled Products from Construction Wastes

The rapid growth of the construction industry has led to significant environmental issues, notably the sharp escalation in construction waste. Recent endeavors have prioritized on recycling and reusing of construction waste. Nevertheless, despite the …

Opening the dialogue: A preliminary exploration of hair color, hair cleanliness, light, and motion effects on fNIRS signal quality

Introduction: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising tool for studying brain activity, offering advantages such as portability and affordability. However, challenges in data collection persist due to factors like participant …

Parkinson’s disease patients show delayed hemodynamic changes in primary motor cortex in fine motor tasks and decreased resting-state interhemispheric functional connectivity: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Significance People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience changes in fine motor skills, which is viewed as one of the hallmark signs of this disease. Due to its non-invasive nature and portability, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is …

Study protocol to examine the effects of acute exercise on motor learning and brain activity in children with developmental coordination disorder (ExLe-Brain-DCD)

Introduction: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is one of the most prevalent pediatric chronic conditions. Without proper intervention, significant delays in motor skill performance and learning may persist until adulthood. …

Observation of cerebral cortex activation during static balance task in sporting and non-sporting individuals: A cross sectional fNIRS study

Introduction This study aimed to investigate the differences in cerebral cortex activation during a static balance task between sporting and non-sporting groups using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The Clinical Test of Sensory …

PD43-05 VARIATIONS IN BRAIN AND BLADDER NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (NIRS) CAN BE USED TO POTENTIALLY CATEGORIZE ORGAN-SPECIFIC SUBTYPES OF OAB

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The main goal of the current study was to assess changes in O2Hb signals for both brain and bladder during natural filling in efforts to establish a four-quadrant grid to enhance categorization of Overactive Bladder (OAB) …

Effects of a One-Day Experiential Sheep-Rearing Experience on Motivation, Anxiety, and Frontal Lobe Brain Activity in Patients with Chronic Psychiatric Disorders: A Crossover Pilot Study
