We propose a phasor representation for oscillations at a given frequency (or relatively narrow frequency band) of hemoglobin concentrations in tissue, as well as hemoglobin concentrations measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. This representation provides a straightforward visualization of the phase relationships between oscillations of oxy-, deoxy-, and total hemoglobin concentrations ([HbO], [Hb], and [HbT], respectively). We observe that measured oscillations of [Hb] and [HbO] with a phase difference that is neither 0 normust result from the combination of different physiological processes that are out of phase (or time shifted) with respect to each other. Finally, we propose the use of cross-correlation phasors to map phase relationships and correlation levels among hemoglobin oscillations measured at spatially distinct locations at a given frequency. Such a representation may find a natural application in the study of functional connectivity networks in the brain.
