The Optical Effective Attenuation Coefficient as an Informative Measure of Brain Health in Aging
Aging is accompanied by widespread changes in brain tissue. Here, we hypothesized that head tissue opacity to near-infrared light provides information about the health status of the brain’s cortical mantle. In diffusive media such as the head, opacity is quantified through the Effective At...
