Reduced Haemodynamic Response in the Ageing Visual Cortex Measured by Absolute fNIRS.

The effect of healthy ageing on visual cortical activation is still to be fully explored. This study aimed to elucidate whether the haemodynamic response (HDR) of the visual cortex altered as a result of ageing. Visually normal (healthy) participants were presented with a simple visual stimulus (rev...
