Research Description

Research direction of the research group:

1) Adopt near-infrared optical imaging technology (fNIRS) to carry out the construction, analysis and evaluation and software development of living human brain function connection network;

2) Use the fNIRS human brain connectomics method to carry out research on the brain network development law of healthy infants and children and adolescents;

3) Use fNIRS human brain connectomics method to carry out early auxiliary diagnosis and clinical evaluation research for people with cognitive impairment;

4）Use transcranial photobiomodulation technique to intervene emotion and improve cognition.
