| Shrnutí: | Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology has been widely used to analyze biomechanics and diagnose brain activity. Despite being a promising tool for assessing the brain cortex status, this system is susceptible to disturbances and noise from electrical instrumentation and basal metabolism. In this study, an alternative filtering method, maximum likelihood generalized extended stochastic gradient (ML-GESG) estimation, is proposed to overcome the limitations of these disturbance factors. The proposed algorithm was designed to reduce multiple disturbances originating from heartbeats, breathing, shivering, and instrumental noises as multivariate parameters. To evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm in filtering involuntary signals, a comparative analysis was conducted with a conventional filtering method, using hemodynamic responses to auditory stimuli and psycho-acoustic factors as quality indices. Using auditory sound stimuli consisting of 12 voice sources (six males and six females), the fNIRS test was configured with 18 channels and conducted on 10 volunteers. The psycho-acoustic factors of loudness and sharpness were used to evaluate physiological responses to the stimuli. Applying the proposed filtering method, the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration correlated better with the psychoacoustic analysis of each auditory stimulus than that of the conventional filtering method.
