Abstract
⺠We recorded NIRS from the visual cortex during pattern-reversal stimulation. ⺠Transient blood pressure changes were induced by arm-raising. ⺠Blood pressure changes significantly altered deep and shallow NIRS recordings. ⺠The effect appears to originate from both intra- and extra-cranial regions. ⺠Blood pressure must be considered as a potential confound in NIRS studies.
