Cortical oxygen consumption in mental arithmetic as a function of task difficulty: A near-infrared spectroscopy approach

The present study investigated changes in cortical oxygenation during mental arithmetic using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Twenty-nine male volunteers were examined using a 52-channel continuous wave system for analyzing activity in prefrontal areas. With the help of a probabilistic mapping me...
