Abstract

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and brain computer interface (BCI) have become indispensable tools for recording and monitoring brain activity, comprising a non-invasive and safe technique that allows researchers to monitor blood flow in the front part of the brain. Although some medical device manufacturers developed complex fNIRS systems, downsized fNIRS systems are important for other uses, such as in portable (palm-sized) and wearable healthcare devices. This paper proposes a downsized compact fNIRS prototype that detects hemodynamics in the frontal lobe. The aim is to develop a compact fNIRS system, which is reliable and easy to integrate into portable (palm-sized) BCI devices. Through practical experiments with human subjects, our proposed system showed an ability to detect and monitor the start and end time of human brain activities when participants were solving a calculation table.
