An analysis framework for the integration of broadband NIRS and EEG to assess neurovascular and neurometabolic coupling

Abstract With the rapid growth of optical-based neuroimaging to explore human brain functioning, our research group has been developing broadband Near Infrared Spectroscopy (bNIRS) instruments, a technological extension to functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). bNIRS has the unique capacity...
