Asymmetry brain function in auditory cortex: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2013:2013:1784-6. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2013.6609867.

Abstract

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can measure the change of hemodynamic response, it enables to determine the concentration changes of oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin. The aim in this paper is to investigate the forms of lateralization or asymmetry brain function in auditory cortex using fNIRS. This technique shows good promise for assessment of asymmetry functions in the auditory cortex.
