Key result
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy shows potential as a non-invasive diagnostic and monitoring tool in psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, and physical exercise studies.
Why the study?
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is rapidly developing, but its potential, advantages over other modalities, and future challenges in psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, and physical exercise warranted comprehensive review.

Supports fNIRS exploration in psychiatry and rehabilitation; leaves open clinical adoption pending validation studies.
fNIRS offers a non-invasive and motion-resistant alternative to other neuroimaging techniques for studying brain activity in real-life conditions, particularly in psychiatry and physical rehabilitation.
Kolasa et al. (2019) conducted a review in Psychiatric disorders, brain traumas, and physical activity. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was evaluated. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy shows potential as a non-invasive diagnostic and monitoring tool in psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, and physical exercise studies.
