Overview

Supports noninvasive sensorimotor monitoring with near-infrared imaging; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

P
Population
10 healthy volunteers
I
Intervention
Unilateral finger opposition task, finger tactile, and electrical median nerve stimulation (block paradigms for motor, sensory, and electrical stimulations of the right and left hands separately)
O
Outcome
Hemodynamic evoked response (spatial/temporal features and amplitude of the optical signal, changes in cerebral concentration of oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin)surrogate

Near-infrared optical imaging can noninvasively detect hemodynamic evoked responses in the sensorimotor cortex during motor and sensory tasks, consistent with PET and fMRI findings.
