Scientists Achieve First Light Passage Through Human Head for Advanced Brain Imaging

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have developed a new technique that allows light to pass through the human head for deeper, non-invasive brain imaging using an enhanced form of near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), though currently only successful in one participant and requiring specific conditions. This advancement could lead to more accessible and portable brain scans for diagnosing and studying neurological conditions, bridging the gap between simple and high-resolution imaging technologies.

"Uncovering Brain Activity with fNIRS: New Insights Revealed"

Researchers explore the potential of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a noninvasive tool to measure brain activity, focusing on the ventral visual pathway. Results suggest that fNIRS is more effective in detecting activity in the lateral occipital complex (LOC) compared to the fusiform face area (FFA), opening doors for practical brain monitoring and potential applications in diagnostics and neuroenhancement devices.
