Abstract
Recent theories about human brain function emphasize the need for imag ing methods that allow the study of dynamic interactions among differe nt structures. In this paper, we report on a new technique, based on t he measurement of parameters of migration of near-infrared photons, th at yields functional images of the human occipital cortex, combining a spatial resolution of 0.5 cm and a temporal resolution of 50 ms. This technique appears to be suitable for studying the dynamics of cortica l activation.
