Using fNIRS to Study Working Memory of Infants in Rural Africa
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
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.
