Artificial Intelligence－based Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Pediatric Neurodevelopment and Rehabilitation: a mini-review
By Sungbae Jo.
Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a hemodynamic neuroimaging technique that estimates activity in superficial cortical regions from changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin associated with neurovascular coupling [1,2].Its quiet operation and portability make it suitable for children who may not tolerate scanner-based imaging and allow repeated measurements during seated, standing, walking, and social tasks relevant to pediatric rehabilitation [3,4].These practical advantages, however, do not ensure neural specificity.fNIRS cannot directly measure deep brain structures, and its signals remain susceptible to
