A brief review on the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for language imaging studies in human newborns and adults

► Non-invasive fNIRS measures changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin over human scalp. ► Upon stimulation, real time maps of cortical hemodynamic responses can be obtained by fNIRS. ► So far, 60 fNIRS language studies in newborn/children/adults have been published. ► fNIRS features, advan...
