It would be nice if we can predict the future. For example, give the following time series, can we predict the next point? Let’s use SVM regression, which is said to be powerful. We use the immediate past data point as the predictor. We train o
Is NIRS able to measure signal from deep brain structure, such as amygdala? The short answer is no. NIRS is only able to measure the surface of the brain. This is a serious limitation of NIRS compared to fMRI which is able to measure the entire brain
Is it possible to use a smartphone to measure head motion in a NIRS study? Is it reliable? After all, smartphones are so popular right now and everybody has it. It would make head motion measurement much more convenient than a traditional stand-alone
We know the hemodynamic signal measured by fMRI (or NIRS) is delayed respective to the onset of stimuli. But how long is the delay? Many people think it takes about 2s for the signal to arise. Actually the delay varies from region to region. As shown
Description: The subject is myself. I did a simple finger tapping task. I continuously tapped my right hand on the table for 10s, then rest for 20s. Then repeat this tapping-rest cycle for 20 times. NIRS signals were recorded by Hitachi ETG-4000. The
We have an interesting challenge in one of our projects. In our neuroimaging experiment, we need the participant to play a computer game while his brain is scanned (using a NIRS device ETG 4000 in this case). As you can imagine, we need to start the
Raspberry Pi for research labs (3) Raspberry Pi for research labs (2) Raspberry Pi is a mini and incredibly cheap PC. The size is like a credit card, and the price is $35. See how small it is compared to my hand. If you connect Pi with a TV (or monit
