Summary :

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging technique, suitable for measurement during motor learning. However, effects of contamination by systemic artifacts derived from the scalp layer on learning-related fNIRS signals remain unclear. Here we used fNIRS to measure activity of sensorimotor regions while participants performed a visuomotor task. The comparison of results using a general linear model with and without systemic artifact removal shows that systemic artifact removal can improve detection of learning-related activity in sensorimotor regions, suggesting the importance of removal of systemic artifacts on learning-related cerebral activity.
