头戴式近红外脑成像交互实验室

●内置的灵活性：NTS从天开始就尽可能被设计得灵活且适应性强。系统的硬件、信号检测方法和帽子旨在让用户以任何可以想象的配置来布置NTS光源和探测器光纤，从而可以在任何被试上进行几乎任何皮层区域的研究。

功能近红外光谱成像技术（fNIRS）使用光来监测人脑功能。该技术通过将近红外光传输到头皮，然后在几厘米远的地方检测散射回头皮的光，可以测量大脑中氧合和脱氧血红蛋白浓度的变化。由于脑活动和局部血流之间存在密切的联系，血红蛋白浓度的这些变化提供了脑功能的可靠度量。NTS fNIRS系统处于这一技术增长的*，以易于使用和便携的方式安全地研究人脑功能。
相比其他脑功能成像技术，近红外脑功能成像技术具有良好的空间分辨率、较高的采样率、更多的测量指标、良好的舒适性和较低的成本等优点，在认知神经科学和临床研究中有着较为广泛的应用；同时由于其抗运动干扰性强、便携可穿戴等特点，系统在运动科学、脑机接口等领域的价值也逐渐被研究者所认识。具体应用案例包括驾驶员的认知负荷研究、多模态脑机接口研究、操作人的情绪状态研究等。
