Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The general linear model (GLM) as a standard model for fMRI analysis has been applied to fNIRS imaging analysis as well. The GLM is very likely to make false predictions for motion artifact in fNIRS signals. The temporal characteristics of normal cerebral hemodynamics are basically the opposite tendency of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR). When motion artifact occurs, HbO and HbR are completely different from normal cases as the baseline changes. This paper presents a cross-correlation between HbO and HbR as a feature that can determine the dynamic noise of fNIRS. Since cross-correlation is a deterministic tool that is easy to calculate, it will be very useful for noise elimination if it is noted as a criterion of dynamic noise in fNIRS signals.
