“…The main features of fNIRS, such as its portability and lower susceptibility to motion artifacts, allow researchers to measure changes in cortical activity during diverse motor tasks, ranging from moving the fingers and hands in clicking a mouse or keyboard during a Stroop task or computer game ( Carrieri et al, 2016 ; Harmat et al, 2015 ; Kashou et al, 2016 ; Shortz et al, 2015 ) to those body movements requiring coordination, such as juggling ( Carius et al, 2016 ) and balancing on a board ( Herold et al, 2017 ), and even to those requiring fine motor skills, such as simulating surgery ( Andreu-Perez et al, 2016 ) and flight ( Choe et al, 2016 ; Gateau et al, 2015 ). In addition, several recent studies have investigated the effects of bodily and road conditions, such as fatigue ( Xu et al, 2017 ), age ( Foy et al, 2016 ), and road curve ( Oka et al, 2015 ), on the hemodynamic responses of subjects during a driving simulation test.…”
