Abstract

The design of a four-channel frequency-domain instrument developed for various applications of diffuse optical imaging is presented. We also report an imaging technique applied for topographical brain-activation studies. Preliminary results of these studies using motor and auditory stimuli are given. Activation areas have been successfully located on the cortex.
