Self-health monitoring and wearable neurotechnologies

Brain-computer interfaces and wearable neurotechnologies are now used to measure real-time neural and physiologic signals from the human body and hold immense potential for advancements in medical diagnostics, prevention, and intervention. Given the …

Using noninvasive methods to drive brain-computer interface (BCI): The role of electroencephalography and functional near-infrared spectroscopy in BCI

The success of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) systems is largely dependent on the ability to record and interpret clear neurophysiological signals invasively or noninvasively through the scalp and skull. In particular, two noninvasive techniques of …

NIRS-EEG joint imaging during transcranial direct current stimulation: Online parameter estimation with an autoregressive model

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to perturb both cortical neural activity and hemodynamics during (online) and after the stimulation, however mechanisms of these tDCS-induced online and after-effects are not …

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 …

Cerebral oxygen supply during hypotension in near-term lambs: A near-infrared spectroscopy study

Sufficient O2-supply to the brain is necessary for an adequate cerebral energy metabolism, function and growth. To elucidate the relation between changes in, respectively, mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and cerebral O2-supply and changes in the …
