303. Functional Brain Mapping and Decoding With High-Density Diffuse Optical Tomography and Naturalistic Stimuli in Adults and Young Children

Studies of early brain development and clinical applications of functional neuroimaging have been constrained by mainstream neuroimaging approaches. MRI presents logistical challenges for imaging in young children and at the bedside, while alternative modalities like functional near-infrared spectroscopy have traditionally lacked image quality due to sparse sampling. We developed and evaluated high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) as a high-performance optical neuroimaging method for mapping and decoding brain function in adults and young children viewing naturalistic stimuli.
