Analysis shows differential prefrontal cortex activity linked to anxiety severity, suggesting fNIRS as a valuable diagnostic tool.
rFPC hypoactivation differentiates clinically significant anxiety from lower-symptom groups and scales with symptom severity during EAMT. Findings support fNIRS as a practical physiological index for characterizing anxiety-related prefrontal dysfunction in large samples. Future work should incorporate short-separation channels and broader diagnostic measures.
