Abstract

In this paper we investigate the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor both the direct effects of neural activation (the so-called fast signal) and the consequent changes in local cerebral hemodynamics. To this end we mapped contra- and ipsi-lateral motor and sensorimotor cortex during hand tapping, hand tactile, and electrical median nerve stimulation.
