Abstract

Although some authors suggest to use Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) sensors to evaluate brain functioning, the link between emissions of LWIR and mental effort is not established. The goal of this pilot study was to determine whether frontal LWIR emissions vary during execution of neuropsychological tasks known to differentially activate the pre-frontal cortex (simple color presentations, induction of the Stroop effect, and a gambling task with real money). Surprisingly, LWIR emissions as measured with bilateral frontal sensors in 47 participants significantly differed between tasks, in the supposed direction (Color

人类长波红外脑功能成像：一项试验性研究。

尽管一些学者建议使用长波红外（LWIR）传感器来评估大脑功能，但长波红外辐射与脑力劳动之间的联系尚未确定。本试验研究的目的是确定在执行已知会不同程度激活前额叶皮层的神经心理学任务（简单的颜色呈现、诱导斯特罗普效应和真钱赌博任务）时，前额叶长波红外辐射是否会发生变化。令人惊讶的是，47 名参与者使用双侧额叶传感器测量到的低波长红外辐射在不同任务中存在显著差异，而且是在假定的方向上（颜色任务）。
