Official Title: Pilot Study of the Use of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Combined With Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) in Neurocognitive Disease as Compared to Healthy Neurotypical Controls

Brief Summary: Background:Neurocognitive disorders affect how the brain uses oxygen.They may affect mental development in children.These disorders can be studied with imaging scans that use radiation; however, these methods are not ideal for research on children.Two technologies-functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS)-use light to detect changes in brain activity.These methods are safer, and they can be used in a more relaxed setting.In this natural history study, researchers want…
