Tracing how the infant brain responds to touch with near-infrared spectroscopy
From Tokyo Metropolitan University 12/12/23 Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have measured how oxygenated hemoglobin levels in the blood change in infants’ brains in response to touch. Using spectroscopy methods with external sensors placed on the scalp of sleeping infants, they found that the time at which levels peak doesn’t change with infant age, but […]
