About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to illuminate the advancements functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology (fNIRS) brings to neuroscience and neurological disorders. With its non-invasive, cost-effective, and highly compatible application, fNIRS offers unparalleled opportunities for research in the real world. This advanced imaging modality deepens our grasp of brain mechanisms in both wellness and illness, enhancing the potential for early diagnosis and laying the groundwork for personalized precision medicine. fNIRS propels forward our knowledge in the neuroscience domain, especially concerning neurological conditions. It opens new doors for the development of groundbreaking diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, marking a significant leap in how we confront and manage these disorders.
We are particularly interested in submissions that explore innovative fNIRS applications across various neurological conditions, including but not limited to, mental health disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders in children, neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. This collection will also delve into the integration of fNIRS with other neuroimaging modalities, showcasing how such synergies can unlock new insights into brain dynamics and pave the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Contributions may cover a range of topics from the development of new fNIRS technology and methodologies, clinical case studies demonstrating the application of fNIRS in diagnosis and treatment, to interdisciplinary research exploring the cognitive, educational, and psychological aspects of brain function. By highlighting the latest research and encouraging further exploration, this Research Topic aims to foster a deeper understanding of the brain's complexity and the potential of fNIRS technology in advancing neuroscience and improving patient outcomes.
We welcome a diverse array of manuscript types, including original research, reviews, and methodological papers, to provide a comprehensive overview of current progress and future directions in fNIRS research within neuroscience and neurology.
