Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the past two decades, two-dimensional version of fNIRS has acquired various applications, and has developed to be a three-dimensional imaging technique called diffuse optical tomography (DOT), in which illuminator-detector pairs were formed at various distances in an overlapping ways to reconstruct depth-resolved image. Prerequisite for high-resolution image of DOT is the corresponding subject-specific image of brain and head tissue structures, which are not always available. Thus, we developed the probabilistic version of the atlas-guided DOT and examine its feasibility as an MRI-free approach to anatomically guided DOT image reconstruction. The cost of not using subjects’ own MRIs was reasonablly small. Moreover, we adopted a new method referring to Eigen values to effectively control multiplicity in multi-channel fNIRS using effective multiplicity derived from the eigenvalues of correlation matrices, with Meff being controlled at 10 to 15 in a 44-channel setting.
