Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) provides a non-invasive method for monitoring cortical hemodynamics. In this pilot study, we developed a simple neurofeedback system and tested whether participants could volitionally modulate prefrontal cortex blood flow using real-time fNIRS feedback. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of this approach and highlight its potential for future applications in cognitive training and clinical interventions.
Yakovlev et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
