Multimodal Neuroimaging (fNIRS & fMRI)

This research was focused on analyzing cortical neural hemodynamics during resting-state using fNIRS for future collation with fMRI data and applications in chronic pain identification and research. To analyze this, a sample set of 7 participating healthy individuals over the age of 18, underwent multimodal neuroimaging utilizing both fMRI and fNIRS imaging techniques simultaneously. This data was processed in nirsLAB software using GLM.
