fNIRS
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood oxygen levels, indicative of neural activity.
Brain Activity
Electrical or metabolic activity within the brain that indicates functional processes, including thought, emotions, and coordination.
Invasive Technique
A method or procedure that involves entering the body or disrupting tissue, often used for medical diagnoses or treatments.
