One of the main advantages of TD-NIRS is that the signal it's imaging is "electrical". Modalities like PET, BOLD fMRI, and CW-NIRS do depend upon saturation changes. For BOLD and C…

I currently do research in MRI. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about IR technologies. Almost all medical imaging done today is done outside the skull. The only exception is EC…

Not a breakthrough. This technique has been known about for at least two decades. Most fNIRS uses the amplitude-based, continuous-wave modality to compare chromophore concentration…

> I believe the "specialized brain regions" idea has been over-debunked. It was the source of so much woo woo in the late 20th century (are you right-brained or left-brained!?) tha…

Most NIRS systems use continuous-wave (CW) systems detecting blood oxygenation/chromophore concentration. I say this because, in the time domain, you're looking at 5-7 seconds to s…

Very interesting implantation method. I never would've thought it possible to use a stent like this. I think the most valuable IP produced from Synchron will be implementing ECoG w…

This is a really hard problem. NIRS is already difficult; very weak signal, limited to I think it's definitely a useful imaging technique for certain (highly specific) tasks. But t…
