Аннотация:Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is known as a versatile and much promising noninvasiveneuroimaging method extensively used nowadays in developmental cognitive neurosciencefor measuring neural substrates underlying mental activity and processes involved in cognition, social interaction, and learning over the life span. This paper focuses on a summary of the basic principles of fNIRS technique concerning its design, implementation, and measurements. A detailedreview of fNIRS strengths and benefits over other neuroimaging modalities is provided. One of theaims is to illustrate the fNIRS advantages by findings of recent studies from the wide variety offNIRS applications: language, numerical cognition, executive functions, emotions, memory, motorfunctions, with a particular focus on neuroimaging in naturalistic environments. Moreover, theoverview of recent implementations as well as future perspectives of fNIRS application in accordancewith current trends in developmental sciences domain is considered: hyperscanning (simultaneousmulti-subject measurements); multimodal measurements (combining several neuroimagingmodalities in one research); neurofeedback trainings for enhancing cognitive functions in childrenand adults; use of interactive immersive stimuli and virtual reality (VR) in developmentalcognitive neuroscience. Important limitations and challenges of fNIRS within healthy individualsin daily life settings are highlighted, as well as possible technical solutions and methodological procedures of their overcoming are discussed.
