The PROHEALTH Project – Investigating orthostatic hypotension in elderly by performing continuous NIRS measurements in a home-based setting
Orthostatic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure that is characterized by drops in blood pressure when standing up from a lying or sitting position and frequently occurs in elderly subjects. The PROHEALTH project aims to implement home-based and continuous Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements to detect orthostatic hypotension using the PortaLite (MKII). Read this blog post more about the PROHEALTH project and which targets are followed to reach the goal.
Differences between haemodynamics of planned and spontaneous speech in people who stutter (PWS)
We have received a new update from Liam Barrett, one of the Win a Brite winners, whose research focus is on using biofeedback and fNIRS to promote fluency in people who stutter. In this blog post, he shares his findings on the hemodynamics differences in planned & spontaneous speech between fluent speakers and stuttering people.
Using fNIRS to study infants and babies brain – exploring a Brite mind
In the first years of life, the brain shows the fastest and most significant growth. This time period is also crucial for discovering the onset of cognitive deficits and several neuropsychiatric disorders. Hence, proper brain development in infants builds the foundation for a successful and healthy future as an adult.
fNIRS analysis toolbox series – Introduction
In the coming months, we will highlight several toolboxes that are used by fNIRS researchers. A list of available toolboxes is compiled by the society for functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy. There are many toolboxes, each with its own strengths and specializations.
NIRS and connectivity measures: an Interview with Prof. Stephane Perrey
fNIRS, as a neuroimaging method, was introduced more than two decades ago. Innovation in equipment, tools, and methods based on related-neuroimaging methods is increasing thanks to several companies and academic laboratories. The use of fNIRS in future research practices will aid in advancing modern investigations of human brain function. Connectivity measures will contribute to the field of neuroscience and a multimodal imaging approach is likely required.
