TechEn NIRS

Summary

Visible light does not penetrate the skull well, but it is relatively transparent to infrared light which can reach the brain. The TechEn CW6 continuous-wave functional NIRS system emits near-infrared light from multiple emitters. It then is absorbed and scattered, and detector optodes are used to pick up the returned light. This can then be quantified to get a measure of neural activity by comparing the absorption of oxygenated versus deoxygenated hemoglobin and create an indirect functional measure of brain activity. This is conceptually similar to a more affordable fMRI that does not measure deep brain structures. The system features up to 20 emitters and detectors capable of being arranged in a user-placeable system depending on the goals of the experiment. The NIRS has been used in several projects in the past, particular those involving frontal lobe function, and is being investigated for future projects.
