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.
