Description: This volume, comprising the proceedings of an International Symposium on Optical Imaging and Metabolism, held in May 1995 in Berlin, covers recent technical progress of optical method as well as the physiological basis of the measurements. Simultaneous studies are used to compare near-infrared spectroscopy measurements with other functional methods, especially PET and fMRI. In addition, examples are given for new applications of the NIRS-method. Also reviewed is the latest information on the coupling of neuronal activity and cerebral blood flow response. Finally, the optical method is put into the perspective of presently available functional neuroimaging methods including fMRI, PET, MEG, and EEG. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
