Motion artifacts are a notorious challenge in the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) field. However, little is known about how to deal with them resting-state data.
Treadmill-based gait training is part of rehabilitation programs focused on walking abilities. The use handrails embedded in treadmill systems debated, and current literature only explores the issue from a behavioral perspective. We examined cortical correlates healthy participants using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. investigated whether utilization at varying speeds could affect activation associated with task, we evaluated potential differences task-based connectivity across...
ABSTRACT When humans move both hands simultaneously, bimanual coupling or interference can occur. The circles‐lines paradigm is used to study the and effects: Participants simultaneously draw either lines circles with (congruent), one hand other (incongruent condition). Despite extensive behavioral research on this paradigm, our knowledge of neural circuitry involved remains limited. Here, we capitalized advantages provided by functional near‐infrared spectroscopy unveil substrates within an...
In recent years, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has gained increasing attention in the field of neurofeedback. However, there is a lack freely accessible tools for research this area that reflect state art and technology. To address need, we introduce Non-commercial Interface Neuro-Feedback Acquisitions (NINFA), user-friendly flexible available neurofeedback application real-time fNIRS, which also open to other modalities such as electroencephalography (EEG). NINFA was...
Manual dexterity is referred to as the skill perform fine motor movements and it has been assumed be associated cognitive domain, well sensorimotor one. In this work, we investigated with functional near-infrared spectroscopy cortical activations elicited by execution of 9-HPT, i.e., a standard test evaluating manual in which nine pegs were taken, placed into then removed from holes on board quickly possible. For comparison, proposed new active control task mainly involving must using same...
Time-of-day is rarely considered during experimental protocols investigating motor behavior and neural activity. The goal of this work was to investigate differences in functional cortical connectivity at rest linked the time day using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Since resting-state brain shown be a succession cognitive, emotional, perceptual, processes that can both conscious nonconscious, we studied self-generated thought with help understanding dynamics. We used New-York Cognition...
Purpose: To investigate the structure–function relationship in eyes with drusen mesopic and scotopic microperimetry. Methods: We analyzed structural functional data from 43 drusen. Functional were acquired two-color (red cyan) Normative values calculated using 56 healthy eyes. Structural measurements green autofluorescence dense macular optical coherence tomography scans. The latter used to calculate retinal pigment epithelium elevation (RPE-E) photoreceptor reflectivity ratio (PRR)....
This study aims to investigate inter-image intra-observer variability of macular, and optic disc (ONH) microvasculature measurements glaucomatous normal subjects using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) (OCT Topcon ImageNet 6; DRI OCT Triton, Corporation, JAPAN) - based imaging data analysis processing with a newly made quantitative approach.
In the seed-based method for studying functional connectivity (FC), seed selection is relevant. Here, we propose a new methodological approach resting-state FC analysis of hand motor networks using individual hotspot (hMHS) as seed. Nineteen right-handed healthy volunteers underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) session and fMRI. For each subject, hMHS in both hemispheres was identified by TMS with contralateral abductor pollicis brevis muscle target, site eliciting highest most...
