If you are curious about Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) as well as occur to be in Edinburgh in the next few weeks make sure you see the science festival.
The main application of NIRS to the human body uses the truth that the transmission as well as absorption of NIR light in human body tissues includes info about hemoglobin concentration changes. When a certain area of the brain or a muscle mass is activated, the localized blood volume in that area modifications quickly. Optical imaging can determine the place as well as activity of certain regions of the brain or muscles by continuously monitoring blood hemoglobin levels with the determination of optical absorption coefficients.
My PhD trainee Catherine Hesford has just started a blog here. Catherine will conduct an try out members of the public as well as will describe the theory behind NIRS together with my associate professor Chris Cooper.
The science festival in Edinburgh starts on the 9th of April, all details are offered here.
