“…Conversely, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has recently emerged as a non-invasive brain measurement technique that holds great potential for measurement of higher-level cognitive processes in the human brain in naturalistic settings [30][31][32][33] . Yet, to the best of our knowledge, it has yet to be validated as a reliable measure of the underlying neural processes implicated in reading comprehension.…”

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has provided unparalleled insights into the fundamental neural mechanisms governing human cognition, including complex processes such as reading. Here, we leverage the wealth of prior fMRI work to capture reading outside the MRI scanner using functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS). In a large sample of participants (n = 82) we observe significant prefrontal and temporal fNIRS activations during reading, which are largely reliable across participants, therefore providing a robust validation of prior fMRI work on reading-related language processing. These results lay the groundwork towards developing adaptive systems capable of assisting these higher-level processes, for example to support readers and language learners. This work also contributes to bridging the gap between laboratory findings and real-world applications in the realm of cognitive neuroscience.
