Shining new light on mammalian diving physiology using wearable near-infrared spectroscopy.

Shining new light on mammalian diving physiology using wearable near-infrared spectroscopy.

Investigation of marine mammal dive-by-dive blood distribution and oxygenation has been limited by a lack of noninvasive technology for use in freely diving animals. Here, we developed a noninvasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device to measure relative changes in blood volume and haemoglobin...
