Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can identify brain activations at the group level. Mixed-effects or Bayesian models are best for analyzing fNIRS data, enabling reliable subject-to-group inference.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain hemodynamic changes.
  • Group-level analysis is crucial for fNIRS neuroimaging.
  • Multilevel statistical inference is key for robust fNIRS data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the feasibility of multilevel statistical inference for fNIRS data.
  • Identify hemodynamic activations in the prefrontal cortex during Stroop interference.
  • Compare classical and Bayesian inference methods for fNIRS group analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a hierarchical general linear model (GLM) for multilevel analysis.
  • Employed various classical and Bayesian inference methods.
  • Examined activation patterns at both subject and group levels.

Main Results:

  • Consistent left lateral prefrontal cortex activation for oxy-hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) during Stroop interference.
  • Less pronounced effects observed for deoxy-hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb).
  • Mixed-effects and Bayesian models demonstrated greater convenience and faithfulness for fNIRS data analysis.

Conclusions:

  • fNIRS is capable of identifying brain activations at the group level.
  • Mixed-effects or Bayesian models are appropriate for subject-to-group inference in fNIRS studies.
  • This approach enhances the reliability of neuroimaging findings.
