Creative music therapy (CMT) has been shown to promote the development of brain function and structure in preterm infants. We aimed to investigate the effect of CMT on cerebral oxygenation and perfusion to examine how the brain reacts to CMT. Absolute levels of cerebrovascular oxygen saturation (StO) were measured in clinically stable preterm-born neonates (n = 20, gestational age: ≥30 weeks and < 37 weeks) using two near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based tissue oximeters over the right prefrontal cortex and left auditory cortex.

Colored light has important implications for human health and well-being, as well as for the aesthetics and function of various environments. In addition to its effects on visual function, colored light has significant effects on cognitive performance, behavior and systemic physiology. The aim of the current study was to comprehensively investigate how colored light exposure (CLE) combined with a cognitive task (2-back) affects performance, cerebral hemodynamics, oxygenation, and systemic physiology as assessed by systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS).

Individuals have different performance levels for cognitive tasks. Are these performance levels reflected in physiological parameters? The aim of this study was to address this question by systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS). We aimed to investigate whether different verbal fluency task (VFT) performances under blue light exposure were associated with different changes in cerebrovascular oxygenation and systemic physiological activity.

Background: Sex differences in behavioural performance of a cognitive task have been repeatedly reported in the literature. Whether such differences are also relevant for evoked cerebral haemodynamic and oxygenation responses as well as systemic physiological changes is a topic of ongoing investigations.
Aim: We investigated whether changes in cerebral oxygenation and systemic physiological activity are sex-dependent during a verbal fluency task (VFT).
