This study examines how sleep stages affect fNIRS-measured hemodynamic responses to auditory stimuli in one-month-old Gambian and UK infants, finding cohort-specific differences in response patterns.

This study shows that caregiver-infant interactions influence functional connectivity in the neonatal brain during the first postnatal month, with specific effects on short- and long-range connectivity.

This study investigates how young children process degraded speech using eye-tracking and fNIRS, finding increased visual attention to the mouth with degraded speech and age-related differences in brain activity.

This study compares channel pruning methods for infant fNIRS data, finding that QT-NIRS provides better signal quality and retention than CV pruning, with lower thresholds recommended for infants.

This study uses fNIRS to track brain responses to social stimuli in infants over five years, finding age-dependent specialisation in auditory social processing.

The paper presents longitudinal fNIRS data on habituation and novelty detection in infants from The Gambia and UK, showing distinct developmental patterns across age and cultural contexts.

This study examines cross-paradigm fNIRS brain activity in neonates from The Gambia and UK to identify context-specific neurodevelopmental markers.

This study applies co-activation pattern analysis to neonatal HD-DOT data to identify dynamic functional connectivity features in newborns.

This study examines how bilingualism affects neural processing of speech in 4-month-old infants, finding distinct brain activity patterns in bilingual infants compared to monolingual infants.

This study finds no differences in the intrinsic functional organization of 4-month-old monolingual and bilingual infants' brains using fNIRS.
