A Dynamic Model of Brain Hemodynamics in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

Objective: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NiRS) is a noninvasive technology used in measuring oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin changes, neural activation, functional connectivity, and vascular health assessment. In this paper, we propose a dynamic model of the NiRS signal to facilitate a better understanding of the underlying elements of this signal and as a means of validation for existing and new NiRS sig...
