AcqKnowledge can be used to obtain the power spectrum of any time domain waveform. The power spectrum indicates the power of each frequency component of the source time domain waveform. The power spectrum can be used to analyze a variety of physiological signals. The ECG (rate) and EEG signals are often categorized using spectral analysis.
This application note shows how to relate power in the time domain to power in the frequency domain using very simple signals in hopes of clarifying the explanation. The FFT in AcqKnowledge allows frequency representation using linear or logarithmic scaling. All discussions and analyses for this paper are done using linear scaling.
High-performance mobile fNIR Imaging Systems are stand-alone functional brain imaging solutions for continuous NIR spectroscopy (NIRS). These top of the line systems provide cognitive function assessment and eliminate a great many of the drawbacks of a functional MRI. Mobile subjects are comfortable and can respond naturally in real-world situations to take a test or perform mobile […]
