fNIRS Analysis
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical neuroimaging method that measures changes in cerebral blood oxygenation non-invasively from the scalp. Developed by Britton Chance and colleagues in the 1990s, fNIRS combines the portability and cost-effectiveness of EEG with the spatial localization advantage of fMRI, enabling brain activity measurement in naturalistic settings.
