The minimum resting-state fNIRS imaging duration for accurate and stable mapping of brain connectivity network in children

Abstract Resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a potential technique for the study of brain functional connectivity (FC) and networks in children. However, the necessary fNIRS scanning duration required to map accurate and stable functional brain connectivity and graph theor...
