Abstract

Neuropsychological tests are used to determine the lesion effect in many neurological and psychiatric disorders or to follow the situation of the patient. In recent years it has been shown that examining the haemodynamic changes of the cortex during these tests gives better results. One of the methods used in this monitoring is the functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy.
