© 2015 Elsevier Inc. Recent evidence has sparked debate about the neural bases of response selection and inhibition. In the current study, we employed two reactive inhibition tasks, the Go/Nogo (GnG) and Simon tasks, to examine questions central to t...

© 2014 Elsevier Inc. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging technique that relies on the principle of shining near-infrared light through tissue to detect changes in hemodynamic activation. An important methodological issue encou... Read More about Validating a new methodology for optical probe design and image registration in fNIRS studies.
