Chinese researchers tested whether monitoring passengers' brain activity could help self-driving systems make safer decisions ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation, which occupies the frequency band between microwaves and infrared light, is essential in many next ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be performed using a portable emitter and detector placed on the scalp near a region of interest in the brain. By emitting and sensing light at ...

Virtual reality relaxation program can reduce pain intensity, with significant changes in brain functional connectivity patterns. (HealthDay News) — Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fINRS) can ...

Researchers have developed a new method that greatly improves the accuracy of brain-state classification with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The brain-imaging technique fNIRS allows ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

Psychiatry faces a core challenge: We treat disorders of the mind with limited windows into real-time brain function. Unlike cardiology’s continuous monitoring (ECG, ultrasound, nuclear imaging), ...

NIR spectroscopy concerns the analysis of how NIR light and matter interact. In spectroscopic analysis, light is determined by the wavelength, not by the applied energy. The wavelength of light is ...
