This book was edited as a standard textbook that covers topics from basic research to clinical application of NIRS based on the newest research outcomes. It is characterized by: 1) attempts to identify both the strengths and weaknesses of NIRS, 2) an overview of methods and grounds for data analysis and interpretation from various standpoints, and 3) an explanation of cerebral blood flow monitoring in addition to functional imaging of the brain. It is recommended not only for experts conducting NIRS technology research, but also for beginners seeking to start using NIRS. (Copied from Amazon book review).
