Exploring the capability of wireless near infrared spectroscopy as a portable seizure detection device for epilepsy patients

Purpose Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has proved useful in measuring significant hemodynamic changes in the brain during epileptic seizures. The advance of NIRS-technology into wireless and portable devices raises the possibility of using the …

The brain mechanisms underlying walking in complex situations in healthy older adults and persons with parkinson's disease

Introduction: The ability to walk safely and independently is a fundamental component of daily living activities. Walking while dual tasking and obstacle negotiation are two tasks that have been used to investigate walking in complex situations. …

A hybrid EEG-fNIRS BCI: Motor imagery for EEG and mental arithmetic for fNIRS

In this paper, we have combined electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNRIS) to make a hybrid EEG-NIRS based system for brain-computer interface (BCI). The EEG electrodes were placed on the motor cortex region and …

Biomedical applications of wireless continuous wave near infrared spectroscopy

Progress in research applications of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and growing clinical interest have led to significant improvements in hardware and software. Amongst continuous wave systems the use of light emitting diodes, incorporation of …
