This article presents a historical perspective of foundational studies utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure the hemodynamics, oxygenation, and activation of the human brain cortex during cognitive tasks, called functional NIRS (fNIRS). It discusses studies representative of the diagnostic power and potential that fNIRS has shown for providing increased understanding of cognitive changes with aging and dementia. It concludes by discussing challenges that continue to confront the implementation of NIRS and fNIRS in clinical and translational research, in particular, the challenges to measure cognitive function and impairment in aged, chronically ill, and fragile subjects with or without dementia. It is written specifically in memoriam, honoring Britton Chance, therefore papers authored by him and his collaborative research family are weighted to illustrate the significant foundation and legacy he has left to this world.

AbstractLight modulates human brain function through its effect on circadian rhythms, which are related to several human behavioral and physiological processes. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive optical neuroimaging technique used for recording brain activation during task performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of light on cognitive function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex using fNIRS. The effect of light on cognitive modulation was analyzed using the Stroop task, which was performed on 30 participants under three different light conditions (color temperature 4500 K, 2500 K, and none). The behavioral results indicated that light conditions can easily and effectively modulate the performance of tasks based on the feedback, including the response time and accuracy. fNIRS showed hemodynamic changes in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, and the activated brain regions varied under different light conditions. Moreover, light may be regarded as a safe, effective, inexpensive, and accessible tool for modulating human cognitive function.
