DESCRIPTION:IEEE EMBS Winnipeg Chapter Research Seminar -\n\nTowards Flexib
 le Evaluation of Brain Functions: Fundamentals\, Methods and Applications 
 of Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)\n\nAbstract:\n\nOptical b
 rain imaging methods\, particularly functional near-infrared spectroscopy 
 (fNIRS)\, have emerged as a versatile and non-invasive neuroimaging modali
 ty for assessing human brain function in both laboratory and real-world se
 ttings. By measuring task- and state-related changes in cerebral hemodynam
 ics\, fNIRS enables flexible evaluation of brain hemodynamics and oxygenat
 ion profiles with advantages in portability\, better tolerance to motion\,
  cost\, and ecological validity compared to conventional imaging technique
 s. Ongoing methodological advances in instrumentation\, signal processing\
 , and experimental design have substantially improved the sensitivity\, sp
 atial specificity\, and interpretability of fNIRS measurements\, while mul
 timodal integration further enhances its ability to capture complex brain 
 dynamics. This seminar talk provides an integrated overview of the fundame
 ntals\, methodological advances\, and representative applications of fNIRS
  in neuroscience and clinical research\n\nSpeaker(s): Ke\, \n\nRoom: EITC
