“…62 Some researchers reported to have measured parts of relatively deep areas by noninvasive NIRS imaging. For example, NIRS imaging was used to measure the anterior-dorsal region of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) regions of adults, 63 the prefrontal region (which is a similar region to the mPFC region in adults) of four-month-old infants, 64 and anterior orbitofrontal cortex regions of mothers and infants. 26 Mitchell et al 19 reported the MNI coordinates of a part of the mPFC region that is related to social cognition as (X = 9 mm, Y = 54 mm, Z = 36 mm).…”

Abstract. The brain activity during cooperation as a form of social process is studied. We investigate the relationship between coinstantaneous brain-activation signals of multiple participants and their cooperative-task performance. A wearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system is used for simultaneously measuring the brain activities of two participants. Each pair of participants perform a cooperative task, and their relative changes in cerebral blood are measured with the NIRS system. As for the task, the participants are told to count 10 s in their mind after an auditory cue and press a button. They are also told to adjust the timing of their button presses to make them as synchronized as possible. Certain information, namely, the "intertime interval" between the two button presses of each participant pair and which of the participants was the faster, is fed back to the participants by a beep sound after each trial. When the spatiotemporal covariance between the activation patterns of the prefrontal cortices of each participant is higher, the intertime interval between their button-press times was shorter. This result suggests that the synchronized activation patterns of the two participants' brains are associated with their performance when they interact in a cooperative task.

“…In their study, significant reductions in neck stiffness and fatigue, with increased parasympathetic nervous activity and decreased sympathetic nervous activity, were observed. 41 Those results may help determine the mechanism underlying the relief of neck/shoulder stiffness and psychologic stress that can be obtained with acupuncture.…”

Objectives: Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture is a quick and effective microsystem of acupuncture used for treating various symptoms for which the somatotopic area is the scalp. This article describes Parietal Acupoint Therapy (PAPT), which is another approach, using a different scalp somatotopy, and to evaluate PAPT's effect on neck/shoulder stiffness and related mood disturbances. Materials and Methods: Subjects: Forty-six volunteers suffering from chronic neck/shoulder stiffness with various symptoms (headache, dizziness, and related mood disturbance) participated in this study and were randomly divided into 2 groups: treatment (26 subjects) and control (20 subjects). Interventions: PAPT, PC points, and PL points were used. Outcome Measures: Immediately before and after treatment, to evaluate the patients' psychobiologic and mood states, salivary alpha amylase (sAA) levels were determined and the Profile of Mood States Second Edition (POMS 2)-Short Form scale was administered. Neck/shoulder stiffness was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) score immediately before and after, and at 3 and 7 days post-therapy. Results: sAA levels were not significantly different in either group after versus before the intervention. There were significant decreases in mean scores in the POMS 2 subscales Anger/Hostility (P < 0.001), Confusion/Bewilderment (P < 0.001), Depression/Dejection (P < 0.01), Fatigue/Inertia (P < 0.001), Tension/Anxiety (P < 0.001), and Total Mood Disturbance (P < 0.001) post-therapy in the treatment group, but not in the control group. The mean VAS score significantly improved in the treatment group post-therapy, which persisted during the observation period. Conclusions: PAPT treatment on PC points ameliorated neck/shoulder stiffness and related mood disturbance. PAPT has the potential to be as effective as other scalp acupuncture types.

“…4 or fig. 5, there is a delay between the stimulus, the neural responses and the hemodynamic modifications as detected by the NIRS systems (Cui et al, 2010b;Yasui et al, 2010). If the NIRS signal depends on the motor command, the delay has been shown to range between 2 and 5 seconds (Fig.…”
