Abstract
A system includes a wearable head apparatus and an electronic console. The head apparatus is configured to receive resultant light from the head of a subject. The electronic console includes a fiber array, a detector, and a computing device. The fiber array includes a plurality of fibers configured to transport resultant light received by the head apparatus. The detector includes a plurality of super-pixels each defined by a plurality of pixels of an array of pixels. Each super-pixel is associated with a fiber. Each super-pixel is configured to generate a plurality of detection signals in response to detected resultant light from its associated fiber. The computing device receives the detection signals from each of the plurality of super-pixels. The computing device generates a high density-diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) image signal of the brain activity of the subject based on the detection signals from the super-pixels.
