Unlabelled: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) estimates the cortical hemodynamic response induced by sound stimuli. fNIRS can be used to understand the symptomatology of tinnitus and consequently provide effective ways of evaluating and treating the symptom.
Objective: Compare the changes in the oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration of individuals with and without tinnitus using auditory stimulation by fNIRS.
Methods: A tinnitus group (n = 23) and a control group (n = 23) were evaluated by an auditory task for assessing sound-evoked auditory cortex activity. The fNIRS was composed of 20 channels arranged into 4x2 arrays over the frontal, temporal and parietal cortices. Then, a passive listening block-paradigm design was adopted with reoccurring blocks of tasks with 15 s interspersed with randomized silence periods between 15-25 s.
Results: There was a significant difference in the condition (type of sound), region of interest (ROI) and channel. As well as significant interaction in group and condition, and group and channel. The Tinnitus Frequency decreased HbO levels, while other sounds (white noise - WN and 1KHZ) increased HbO levels. All conditions differed from each other, except 1KHz with Baseline (silence) in the control group. Regarding the channels, the frontal channels (1, 3, and 11) differed in the tinnitus group, while in the control group a difference was observed in the channels of the frontal, temporal and parietal regions.
Conclusion: The type of sound presented, and brain region influenced the variations in HbO levels, but there was no difference between tinnitus and control participants. The tinnitus loudness, annoyance, and severity showed a weak correlation with variations in HbO levels.

As a primary approach to address feature selection problems, evolutionary algorithms have been widely proposed to deal with the problem. Most of these methods are designed to find a single feature subset. However, the optimal feature subset within a dataset is often not unique, indicating that feature selection exhibits multimodal characteristics.

Introduction: We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and performed the differential profiling of lncRNAs and mRNA.
Methods: The serum levels of different inflammatory factors were detected in PSCI patients with or without HBO therapy. The cognitive functions of patients in different groups were assessed before and after treatment.

In the past decade, there has been a surge in interest in space exploration studies, particularly due to the prospect of exploring distant planets such as Mars. However, long-duration space missions may pose cognitive challenges resulting from spaceflight-induced perceptual and motor changes, prolonged cephalic fluid shifts, and high cognitive load. One method for monitoring cognitive activity is functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a technique not yet tested under prolonged microgravity conditions beyond parabolic flight periods.

Multimodal brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that combine electrical features from electroencephalography (EEG) and hemodynamic features from functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have the potential to improve performance. In this paper, we propose a multimodal EEG- and fNIRS-based BCI system with soft robotic (BCI-SR) components for personalized stroke rehabilitation. We propose a novel method of personalizing rehabilitation by aligning each patient's specific abilities with the treatment options available.
