Development of wireless NIRS system with dynamic removal of motion artifacts

Purpose Along with recent advances in neuroscience, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been widely used to measure changes in cerebral oxygenation non-invasively. An NIRS system can be constructed to be portable unlike other imaging modalities, but its signals are often distorted by artifacts generated by arterial pulsation, vasomotion and head motion. To overcome these problems, we have developed a wireless NIRS system with a real time accelerometer that allows noise reduction.
