“…Contrary to our hypothesis and despite previous studies demonstrating that hemodynamic responses can be used to reliably quantify cognitive state and load levels in the bilateral PFC (Basso Moro et al, 2013; Fishburn et al, 2014; Unni et al, 2015; Bonetti et al, 2019), the present study did not find significant differences among optodes when parsed into different regions. Although the lack of regional differences is important, it is worthwhile to note that fNIRS’ spatial resolution is limited by the optical source-detector distance, which is normally 2–3 cm, despite the technology having high temporal resolution (Tak et al, 2016).…”

In the current study, we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to compare prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in adults as they performed two conditions of the Tower of Hanoi (ToH) disk-transfer task that have equivalent executive function (EF) but different motor requirements. This study explored cognitive workload, here defined as the cognitive effort utilized while problem-solving by performance output. The first condition included a two-dimensional (2D) computerized ToH where participants completed trials using a computer mouse. In contrast, our second condition used a traditional, three-dimensional (3D) ToH that must be manually manipulated. Our aim was to better understand the role of the PFC in these two conditions to detect if PFC activity increases as a function of motor planning. Twenty right-handed, neurotypical adults (10M/10F, = 24.6, SD ± 2.8 years old) participated in two blocks (one per condition) of three 1-min trials where they were asked to solve as many puzzles as possible. These data were analyzed using a mixed effects ANOVA with participants nested within blocks for 2D vs. 3D conditions, presentation order (leading block), individual participants, and regions and additional follow-up statistics. Results showed that changes in oxygenated hemoglobin, ΔHbO, were significantly higher for 3D compared to 2D condition ( p = 0.0211). Presentation order and condition interacted significantly ( p = 0.0015). Notably, a strong correlation between performance and ΔHbO existed between blocks 1 and 2 ( r = −0.69, r 2 = 0.473, p < 0.01) when the 3D condition was initially performed, in contrast to the 2D condition where no significant correlation was seen. Findings also showed a significant decrease in ΔHbO between the first and second block ( p = 0.0015) while performance increased significantly for both 3D and 2D conditions ( p < 0.005). We plan to use this information in the future to narrow the potential points of impairment on the perception-cognition-action continuum in certain developmental disabilities.

“…Therefore, 15 of 26 items were chosen. For this review, studies were considered to be of high, medium and low quality if they met >75%, 60-75% and <60% of the applicable criteria, respectively [28] (Table 2). All questions were scored on the following scale: yes: 1, unable to determine: 0 and no: 0.…”

Background: This study aimed to report, through a systematic review of the literature, the baseline and final reference values obtained by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) during resistance training in healthy adults. Methods: Original research studies were searched from four databases (Scopus, PubMed, WOS, and SportDiscus). Subsequently, three independent reviewers screened the titles and abstracts, followed by full-text reviews to assess the studies’ eligibility. Results: Four studies met the inclusion criteria, data were extracted and methodological quality was assessed using the Downs and Black scale. Muscle oxygen saturation (% SmO2) during reported muscle strength exercises showed a decreasing trend after a muscle strength protocol; that is, before the protocol (range = 68.07–77.9%) and after (range = 9.50–46.09%). Conclusions: The trend of the SmO2 variables is to decrease after a muscle strength protocol. Studies are lacking that allow expanding the use of these devices during this type of training.

“…Furthermore, fNIRS suffers from its vulnerability to changes in scalp blood flow and to changes in systemic physiology (e.g., increase in heart rate) [30,32,40,69,70,71,72]. Of note, while fNIRS has proven to be a useful and reliable tool in some research fields (e.g., motor control) [25,36,73], currently no standardized procedures regarding the processing of fNIRS data are available [21,30,38,41,74]. Moreover, the methods used to measure cortical hemodynamics during cognitive tasks are diverse [74].…”

For cognitive processes to function well, it is essential that the brain is optimally supplied with oxygen and blood. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting that cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics can be modified with physical activity. To better understand the relationship between cerebral oxygenation/hemodynamics, physical activity, and cognition, the application of state-of-the art neuroimaging tools is essential. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is such a neuroimaging tool especially suitable to investigate the effects of physical activity/exercises on cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics due to its capability to quantify changes in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (oxyHb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxyHb) non-invasively in the human brain. However, currently there is no clear standardized procedure regarding the application, data processing, and data analysis of fNIRS, and there is a large heterogeneity regarding how fNIRS is applied in the field of exercise–cognition science. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the current methodological knowledge about fNIRS application in studies measuring the cortical hemodynamic responses during cognitive testing (i) prior and after different physical activities interventions, and (ii) in cross-sectional studies accounting for the physical fitness level of their participants. Based on the review of the methodology of 35 as relevant considered publications, we outline recommendations for future fNIRS studies in the field of exercise–cognition science.
