Using the anti-correlation between oxy and deoxy hemoglobin for NIRS data quality

Back in 2009 we published a paper titled “Functional near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signal improvement based on negative correlation between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin dynamics“. In a nutshell, we found the oxy- and deoxy-H

Fisher transformation

Assume you are doing a correlation study between two brain areas, A and B. For each subject, you get a single value, the correlation between A and B. And you have 100 subjects. How do you know if the mean of the correlation is significantly different
