Investigating the effect of channel pruning on functional near-infrared spectroscopy data collected from children aged 5-24 months
Samuel Beaton, Borja Blanco, Chiara Bulgarelli…·Sophie E. Moore
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.

Functional specialisation across the first five years of life: a longitudinal characterisation of social perception with fNIRS
Johann Benerradi, Chiara Bulgarelli, Ebrima Mbye…·Sarah Lloyd‐Fox
This study uses fNIRS to track brain responses to social stimuli in infants over five years, finding age-dependent specialisation in auditory social processing.

Head before heart? Cognitive empathy may emerge before affective empathy in the developing brain
Chiara Bulgarelli, Paola Pinti, Tessel Bazelmans…·Emily J. H. Jones
This study investigates whether cognitive empathy emerges before affective empathy in toddlers using fNIRS and heart rate monitoring, finding stronger cognitive empathy activation in younger children.
