NCIt synonyms : Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy; Functional NIR Spectroscopy; fNIRS; Functional Optical Brain Imaging;
NCIt definition : A hemodynamic, noninvasive optical imaging technique that measures changes in the
concentration of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb), as well as the changes in the redox
state of cytochrome-c-oxidase, within the brain by means of the characteristic absorption
spectra of Hb in the near-infrared range. It is used to monitor cognitive states and
brain activity.;
