Intrinsic brain activity triggers trigeminal meningeal afferents in a migraine model

H Bolay, U Reuter, AK Dunn, Z Huang, DA Boas… - Nature medicine, 2002 - nature.com
Although the trigeminal nerve innervates the meninges and participates in the genesis of
migraine headaches, triggering mechanisms remain controversial and poorly understood. Here …

A quantitative comparison of simultaneous BOLD fMRI and NIRS recordings during functional brain activation

G Strangman, JP Culver, JH Thompson, DA Boas - Neuroimage, 2002 - Elsevier
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to noninvasively monitor adult human
brain function in a wide variety of tasks. While rough spatial correspondences with maps …

Dynamic imaging of cerebral blood flow using laser speckle

…, H Bolay, MA Moskowitz, DA Boas - Journal of Cerebral …, 2001 - journals.sagepub.com
A method for dynamic, high-resolution cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging is presented in this
article. By illuminating the cortex with laser light and imaging the resulting speckle pattern, …

HomER: a review of time-series analysis methods for near-infrared spectroscopy of the brain

…, SG Diamond, MA Franceschini, DA Boas - Applied optics, 2009 - opg.optica.org
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging tool for studying evoked
hemodynamic changes within the brain. By this technique, changes in the optical absorption …

Laser speckle contrast imaging in biomedical optics

DA Boas, AK Dunn - Journal of biomedical optics, 2010 - spiedigitallibrary.org
First introduced in the 1980s, laser speckle contrast imaging is a powerful tool for full-field
imaging of blood flow. Recently laser speckle contrast imaging has gained increased attention…

Non-invasive neuroimaging using near-infrared light

G Strangman, DA Boas, JP Sutton - Biological psychiatry, 2002 - Elsevier
This article reviews diffuse optical brain imaging, a technique that employs near-infrared light
to non-invasively probe the brain for changes in parameters relating to brain function. We …

Monte Carlo simulation of photon migration in 3D turbid media accelerated by graphics processing units

Q Fang, DA Boas - Optics express, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We report a parallel Monte Carlo algorithm accelerated by graphics processing units (GPU)
for modeling time-resolved photon migration in arbitrary 3D turbid media. By taking …

Imaging the body with diffuse optical tomography

DA Boas, DH Brooks, EL Miller… - IEEE signal …, 2001 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an ongoing medical imaging modality in which tissue is
illuminated by near-infrared light from an array of sources, the multiply-scattered light which …

A temporal comparison of BOLD, ASL, and NIRS hemodynamic responses to motor stimuli in adult humans

…, RD Hoge, SG Diamond, MA Franceschini, DA Boas - Neuroimage, 2006 - Elsevier
In this study, we have preformed simultaneous near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) along with
BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) and ASL (arterial spin labeling)-based fMRI during …

Tetrahedral mesh generation from volumetric binary and grayscale images

Q Fang, DA Boas - … on biomedical imaging: from nano to macro, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We report a general purpose mesh generator for creating finite-element surface or volumetric
mesh from 31) binary or gray-scale medical images. This toolbox incorporates a number of …
