Summary: For the robust estimation of evoked brain activity from functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals, it is crucial to reduce nuisance signals from systemic physiology and motion.

Part I gives an overview of functional localization – identifying where in the brain neural activity occurs. We will focus on the General Linear Model (GLM), in conjunction with a simple auditory task ...

A generalized additive model (GAM) is an extension of generalized linear models (GLM) that more accurately model complex relationships between the predictor variables (variables that can affect the ...
