Abstract EN
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a promising noninvasive imaging technique, has recently become an increasingly popular tool in resting-state brain functional connectivity (FC) studies.
However, the corresponding software packages for FC analysis are still lacking.
To facilitate fNIRS-based human functional connectome studies, we developed a MATLAB software package called “functional connectivity analysis tool for near-infrared spectroscopy data” (FC-NIRS).
This package includes the main functions of fNIRS data preprocessing, quality control, FC calculation, and network analysis.
Because this software has a friendly graphical user interface (GUI), FC-NIRS allows researchers to perform data analysis in an easy, flexible, and quick way.
Furthermore, FC-NIRS can accomplish batch processing during data processing and analysis, thereby greatly reducing the time cost of addressing a large number of datasets.
Extensive experimental results using real human brain imaging confirm the viability of the toolbox.
This novel toolbox is expected to substantially facilitate fNIRS-data-based human functional connectome studies.
