“…However, Collins‐Jones et al. (2021) recently used image reconstruction to investigate the effects of variation in array position and head size in channel‐space analysis of longitudinal fNIRS infant data (when head growth is most rapid). Specifically, they investigated the effect of variation in head size and array position on inferences drawn from both individual and group‐level data.…”

Children show marked improvements in executive functioning (EF) between 4 and 7 years of age. In many societies, this time period coincides with the start of formal school education, in which children are required to follow rules in a structured environment, drawing heavily on EF processes such as inhibitory control. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal development of two aspects of inhibitory control, namely response inhibition and response monitoring and their neural correlates. Specifically, we examined how their longitudinal development may differ by schooling experience, and their potential significance in predicting academic outcomes. Longitudinal data were collected in two groups of children at their homes. At T1, all children were roughly 4.5 years of age and neither group had attended formal schooling. One year later at T2, one group (P1, n = 40) had completed one full year of schooling while the other group (KG, n = 40) had stayed in kindergarten. Behavioural and brain activation data (measured with functional near‐infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS) in response to a Go/No‐Go task and measures of academic achievement were collected. We found that P1 children, compared to KG children, showed a greater change over time in activation related to response monitoring in the bilateral frontal cortex. The change in left frontal activation difference showed a small positive association with math performance. Overall, the school environment is important in shaping the development of the brain functions underlying the monitoring of one own's performance.

. Significance Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a frequently used neuroimaging tool to explore the developing brain, particularly in infancy, with studies spanning from birth to toddlerhood (0 to 2 years). We provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities that the developmental fNIRS field faces, after almost 25 years of research. Aim We discuss the most recent advances in fNIRS brain imaging with infants and outlines the trends and perspectives that will likely influence progress in the field in the near future. Approach We discuss recent progress and future challenges in various areas and applications of developmental fNIRS from methodological and technological innovations to data processing and statistical approaches. Results and Conclusions The major trends identified include uses of fNIRS “in the wild,” such as global health contexts, home and community testing, and hyperscanning; advances in hardware, such as wearable technology; assessment of individual variation and developmental trajectories particularly while embedded in studies examining other environmental, health, and context specific factors and longitudinal designs; statistical advances including resting-state network and connectivity, machine learning and reproducibility, and collaborative studies. Standardization and larger studies have been, and will likely continue to be, a major goal in the field, and new data analysis techniques, statistical methods, and collaborative cross-site projects are emerging.

“…To counteract this issue, a larger sample size is best. Also, array positioning may suffer in ecological measurements of brain activation, especially in school contexts, as children tend to fidget and that may dislocate head gear causing differences between channel-and image-space, especially at group-level analyses (Collins-Jones et al, 2021). Once again, the remedy lies in larger sample sizes.…”

“…In this system, the standardized EEG positions used allows for the probabilistic estimation of virtual spatial registration of fNIRS optodes by matching most likely Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates with corresponding fNIRS channels (Singh et al, 2005). Also, EEG positions in accordance with the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (IBCM) head models are a great aid to place optodes (Cutini et al, 2012) and to determine source-detector (array) positions (Collins-Jones et al, 2021). To further strengthen apt placement of optodes, the functional Optodes Location Decider (fOLD) is a useful toolbox with no added cost (Zimeo Morais, Balardin, Sato, 2018).…”

Inicialmente agradeço a Deus, fonte de vida, beleza, inspiração e sabedoria.Agradeço também àqueles que me precederam, me ensinaram e inspiraram. E que seguem me protegendo e auxiliando.Agradeço ao meu berço: pais, avós, parentes e amigos; de eras antigas e atuais, do ser, do fazer e do saber ser que me guiaram, ajudaram e amaram.Agradeço à minha orientadora, Mirella Gualtieri, que me acolheu sob sua tutela, acreditou no meu potencial para a pesquisa científica , e me deu liberdade para seguir, em um ritmo muito próprio, a busca de um entender que ultrapassou as amarras da minha área de origem e do meu conhecer. Agradeço às crianças, seus pais, aos professores e coordenadores da CrecheFraternidade Maria de Nazaré onde foi realizada a coleta para a pesquisa aqui descrita. Sem sua anuência, paciência e parceria, nada do que aqui se encontra poderia ter sido realizado. Agradeço sobretudo aos que dividiram comigo essa jornada de gerir, gestar e trazer à luz um projeto que há tempos venho acalentandosão minha família. Ao meu filho Cassiano, agradeço o talento com as ilustrações. Ao meu filho Danilo, agradeço o rigor com a formatação. Ao meu marido, Fábio, agradeço a paciência com tantas conversas, explicações minuciosas e decisões difíceis. A eles -infatigáveis em seu apoio e entusiasmo -dedico a tecitura deste trabalho. RESUMO Ramacciotti, M.C.C. (2022).
