Signal Processing in fNIRS: A Case for the Removal of Systemic Activity for Single Trial Data.

abstract：:Attention facilitates the processing of task-relevant visual information and suppresses interference from task-irrelevant information. Modulations of neural activity in visual cortex depend on attention, and likely result from signals originating in fronto-parietal and cingulo-opercular regions of cortex. Here, we tes...
