This special section collects four articles on the application of diffuse optics to measure cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation. The possibility of using near-infrared light to collect cerebral hemodynamic and metabolic information through the intact scalp and skull was first proposed in the 1970s [1]. Commercial cerebral oximeters were developed in the 1990s, and functional measurements of brain activation, which signaled the birth of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), were first reported in 1993 [2], [3], [4], [5]. Oscillatory cerebral hemodynamics were also investigated in relation to functional and diagnostic applications [6], [7], [8], [9]. Journal special issues were published to celebrate the 20th [10] and 30th [11] anniversaries of fNIRS, and numerous review articles have provided overviews of the field of noninvasive optical measurements of the brain [12], [13], [14], [15].
本专题收集了四篇关于漫射光学在测量脑血流动力学和氧合方面应用的文章。利用近红外光透过完整头皮和颅骨收集脑血流动力学和代谢信息的可能性最早于20世纪70年代被提出[1]。20世纪90年代开发出了商用脑血氧仪，1993年首次报道了脑激活的功能测量，这标志着功能近红外光谱技术（fNIRS）的诞生[2][3][4][5]。振荡性脑血流动力学也在功能和诊断应用方面得到了研究[6][7][8][9]。为庆祝fNIRS诞生20周年[10]和30周年[11]出版了期刊特刊，众多综述文章对脑无创光学测量领域进行了概述[12][13][14][15]。
