Research progress in the application of functional near infrared spectroscopy in children language development / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuroimaging technology, which has such advantages as non-invasiveness, portability, robustness to motion and no noise over other neuroimaging tools.Therefore, it has important values in the research of children language development.fNIRS has been currently applied to the study of neonatal word recognition, infant speech perception, language functional lateralization, bilingual cognitive mechanism, language related neurodevelopmental disorders, etc.It has a bright future of applications in the field of children language development.
