Abstract

Significance: Clinical use of fNIRS -derived features has always suffered low sensitivity and specificity due to signal contamination from background systemic physiological fluctuations. We provide an algorithm to extract cognition-related features by eliminating the effect of background signal contamination, hence improving the classification accuracy.
