Abstract
An optical imaging system using pulsed NIR to monitor brain activity of the frontal lobe has been developed. This system utilizes the transducers and the computer-based controller/analyzer to obtain data from the brain, and presents the results in a two-dimensional display. As contrasted to MRI or PET, this portable device can be used to detect brain dysfunction in children who cannot be easily immobilized.
