Erratum to: Social Inclusion Enhances Biological Motion Processing: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Processing and analyzing functional near - infrared spectroscopy data

Social perception in infancy: a near infrared spectroscopy study.

The capacity to engage and communicate in a social world is one of the defining characteristics of the human species. While the network of regions that compose the social brain have been the subject of extensive research in adults, there are limited techniques available for monitoring young infants. This study used near infrared spectroscopy to investigate functional activation in the social br...

brain near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs)

near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. typical applications include medical and physiological diagnostics. nirs can be used for non-invasive assessment of brain function through the intact skull in human subjects by detecting changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations associated with neural activity, e.g., ...

Prefrontal Brain Activation During Emotional Processing: A Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study (fNIRS)

The limbic system and especially the amygdala have been identified as key structures in emotion induction and regulation. Recently research has additionally focused on the influence of prefrontal areas on emotion processing in the limbic system and the amygdala. Results from fMRI studies indicate that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved not only in emotion induction but also in emotion regu...

A Comparative Study Concerning Linear and Nonlinear Models to Determine Sugar Content in Sugar Beet by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR)

This paper reports on the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Partial Least Squareregression (PLS) combined with NIR spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. In this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. Three pre-processing methods, including Multiplic...
