Characterizing developmental changes in infant habituation using functional change point detection

Samuel Beaton, Samantha McCann, Sarah Lloyd‐Fox…·Sophie E. Moore

This study uses functional change point detection to analyze infant fNIRS data and finds earlier habituation timing in older infants.

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.
