Portable brain-mapping device allows researchers to ‘see’ where memory fails student veterans

UT Arlington researchers have successfully used a portable brain-mapping device to show limited prefrontal cortex activity among student veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when they were asked to recall information from simple memorization tasks. Read more about the study here.

New fNIRS-FD instrument capable of identifying affected areas of brain

Researchers with the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) in Mexico have reported a functional near-infrared spectroscopy device that could help monitor the rehabilitation of patients with neurological damage caused by stroke. Read more about the study here.

Optical brain scanner goes where other brain scanners can’t

Joe Culver and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have published a Nature Photonics paper describing an exciting new diffuse optical tomography instrument. The instrument covers two-thirds of a subject’s head and can image brain processes occurring in multiple regions and brain networks—those involved in “daydreaming,” for example.
