Chinese researchers tested whether monitoring passengers' brain activity could help self-driving systems make safer decisions ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be performed using a portable emitter and detector placed on the scalp near a region of interest in the brain. By emitting and sensing light at ...

Virtual reality relaxation program can reduce pain intensity, with significant changes in brain functional connectivity patterns. (HealthDay News) — Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fINRS) can ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

Cars from companies like Tesla already promise hands-free driving, but recent crashes show that today's self-driving systems can still struggle in risky, fast-changing situations.

Chinese researchers have developed a system that uses passengers' brain signals to improve autonomous vehicle safety in risky ...

NIR spectroscopy concerns the analysis of how NIR light and matter interact. In spectroscopic analysis, light is determined by the wavelength, not by the applied energy. The wavelength of light is ...

Psychiatry faces a core challenge: We treat disorders of the mind with limited windows into real-time brain function. Unlike cardiology’s continuous monitoring (ECG, ultrasound, nuclear imaging), ...
