IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region01:03

IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region

2.2K
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Overview

7.0K
When electromagnetic radiation passes through a material, atoms or molecules transition from a lower to a higher energy state by absorbing radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the two states. The absorption of infrared (IR) radiation causes transitions between vibrational energy levels in a molecule. Therefore, IR spectroscopy is a useful analytical tool for determining the molecular structure of molecules.
Different compounds display unique properties due to their...

IR Spectrum

3.2K
When infrared (IR) radiation passes through a molecule, the bonds stretch or bend by absorbing the radiation. This absorption creates the molecule's absorption spectrum, which is the plot of its percentage transmittance versus wavenumber.
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...

IR Spectroscopy: Molecular Vibration Overview

6.0K
When Infrared (IR) radiation passes through a covalently bonded molecule, the bonds transition from lower to higher vibrational levels. The fundamental vibrational motions that result in infrared absorption can be classified as stretching or bending vibrations.
Stretching vibrations are vibrational motions that occur along the bond line, changing the bond length or distance between two bonded atoms. They are further distinguished as symmetric or asymmetric. In symmetric stretching, the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain activity via scalp-placed optical probes.
  • Limited spatial resolution and inter-subject variability in fNIRS channel placement hinder accurate group-level analysis.
  • Existing methods struggle with inconsistent sensor positioning, impacting the reliability of group effect estimations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the accuracy of group-level fNIRS data analysis.
  • To address challenges related to spatial resolution and sensor misalignment in fNIRS.
  • To enable robust inference of population-level brain responses from fNIRS measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Applied random-effects analysis on interpolated fNIRS topographic images.
  • Generated individual contrast images on a canonical scalp surface for standardized analysis.
  • Utilized spatial interpolation to correct for sensor location misalignment across subjects.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated significant activation in left frontopolar regions during a Stroop task using the novel analysis method.
  • Validated the findings against established neuroimaging results, confirming the approach's efficacy.
  • Showcased the ability to infer population effects from fNIRS data through a computationally efficient summary statistic approach.

Conclusions:

  • Successfully demonstrated a method for analyzing multi-subject fNIRS data in sensor space using random-effects analysis.
  • The proposed technique offers improved spatial alignment and accurate population-level inference for fNIRS studies.
  • This approach enhances the reliability and interpretability of fNIRS findings in cognitive and clinical neuroscience.
