Testing and Calibration of Non-Invasive Optical Imaging Technology for Functional Brain Imaging
This study evaluates how well non-invasive functional near infrared imaging techniques functions to examine brain activity in healthy volunteers compared to functional magnetic resonance imaging. While being scanned, participants will conduct a variety of simple tasks, such as reading sentences, for the investigators to examine the imaging methodology’s task-specific imaging capabilities.
