Title: Near-infrared brain imaging for space medicine
Abstract:
The implicit goal of this project is to advance and further validate the near-infrared brain imagin (NIRI) technique while at the same time enhancing our understanding of the fMRI BOLD signal. The latter effect comes about from the simultaneous acquisition of BOLD and NIRI signals, allowing the comparison of BOLD responses to coincident, regional oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin and total hemoglobin concentractions.
