进行了一项试点研究，以评估使用fNIRS作为非洲农村婴儿认知发育行为评估的替代方法的可行性。我们报告了一项研究的初步结果，该研究着眼于12-16个月大的儿童的工作记忆，并讨论了未来可能使用fNIRS来调查全球健康研究中营养损伤和干预措施的影响的优点和缺点。
A pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility of using fNIRS as an alternative to behavioral assessments of cognitive development with infants in rural Africa. We report preliminary results of a study looking at working memory in 12-16-month-olds and discuss the benefits and shortcomings for the potential future use of fNIRS to investigate the effects of nutritional insults and interventions in global health studies.
