Abstract

Over the past three decades functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) has gained increased popularity as a valuable and non-invasive neuroimaging tool to study brain functioning, both inside and outside the laboratory. This has been facilitated by the rapid developments in fNIRS instrumentation and analytics, with the availability of sophisticated devices and analytical methods that enabled cognitive neuroscientists to expand investigations in more ecologically-valid settings and a wider range of populations. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current status of the fNIRS technology and discuss the ongoing challenges as well as possible way to overcome them in the future.
