“…Methods for image reconstruction using fNIRS and similar optical approaches have been described in detail elsewhere (Eggebrecht et al, 2014;Hirsch, Adam Noah, Zhang, Dravida, & Ono, 2018;Perlman, Huppert, & Luna, 2016;Putt, Wijeakumar, Franciscus, & Spencer, 2017;Wijeakumar, Huppert, et al, 2017;. Briefly, after accommodating for the forward model and beta coefficients (explained in the previous section), the relationship between the hemodynamic response and delta optical density is given by: Solving for X yields voxel-wise maps of relative changes in concentration for each condition, channel, participant and chromophore.…”
